Does Azure Cache for Redis support hostname based connections over TLS?

I am running an application that needs a way to have the azure redis cluster announce hostnames. I'm not able to connect to it otherwise. This is handled via the cluster-preferred-endpoint-type and also cluster-announce-hostname redis configuration options.

These options however are only available in Redis 7. AWS has some kind of patched version to allow this in version 6.

Azure cache does not seem to let you use Redis 7.

Is there a way to use these options in Azure Cache for Redis? What have other people done?

    @Joshua Klein Welcome to Microsoft Q&A thanks for posting your question.

    Do you use Azur Cache for Redis Enterprise? If so, please let me know so I can provide more information. Or if you are using Azure Cache for Redis Premium, can you use Azure Managed Identity for authentication instead? 

    Regards
