Connecting to Azure Managed Redis Instance from Redis Insight

Redis Insight is one of the must-have tools if you are working with Redis. It provides a nice GUI to browse keys, run commands, and monitor your Redis instance.

Few years ago, I have previously blogged about Connecting to Azure Cache for Redis Instance from RedisInsight. 

Azure Cache for Redis is scheduled for retirement on September 30, 2028. Microsoft recommends migrating existing Azure Cache for Redis instances to Azure Managed Redis well before the retirement date to ensure continued support and access to the latest features and improvements.

In this post, let's see how to connect to Azure Managed Redis instance from Redis Insight.

First, you need to configure your Azure Managed Redis instance to allow the connection. If you are connecting from your local machine, Navigate to your Redis cluster in Azure Portal. Go to Networking  and nake sure you have Public Access enabled.

Under Authentication -> Access Keys, make sure Access Keys Authentication is enabled and copy the Access Key. It's going to be the password for Redis Insight connection.

Connection settings: General

Enable Use TLS.

Connection settings: Security

Now test the connection.

Success

Hope this helps.

Happy Coding.
