Integrate Azure Cache for Redis with Service Connector

This page shows the supported authentication types and client types of Azure Cache for Redis using Service Connector. You might still be able to connect to Azure Cache for Redis in other programming languages without using Service Connector. This page also shows default environment variable names and values (or Spring Boot configuration) you get when you create the service connection. You can learn more about Service Connector environment variable naming convention.
