We have set up Azure cache for Redis with a private endpoint but noticed that it resolves to a public IP address. Is there a way for the private endpoint to remain private? I read a Stackoverflow post from 2020 that suggests private endpoints are not available with Redis cache. Is that correct? If so, what are the instructions in the below doc meant to accomplish? :)
Thanks in advance for any information that can be provided.
Hi, @Vicki-7859 Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.
As we understand the ask here is you have set up Azure cache for Redis with a private endpoint but noticed that it resolves to a public IP address,
I tried to reproduce the same and I did not find any issues. have you done the firewall vnet with the private DNS zone for Redis if not can you do it?
please share your screenshot so we can better assist you as there shouldn’t be an issue here. Private Endpoints are available with Azure Cache for Redis and have been GA for over a year.
Private endpoints should not resolve to a public IP address unless public network access is explicitly enabled. To be clear, it will still have an IP address, but not a public one. You can see this in the picture at this link.

Hi Geetha,
Thanks for the initial response and for the follow-up. We are working on firewall vnet with private DNS solution you mentioned. We have limited staff/time so this might not be completed for a few days. I will respond after we finish trying this out.
Thanks again for you help,
Vicki
Sure Vicki-7859 thanks for your response we will wait to hear back from you.

I have a colleague who has decided that we do not try the firewall vnet with the private DNS zone for Redis route yet.
But he created an A record and he pointed it to an ip address. We are able to ping and the port query result looks good. But we still have a connectivity issue. I am attaching a screenshot of the error message we are receiving. Do you have any ideas about what we should do and/or do you think that the firewall vnet with a private DNS zone is the way to go?
Thank you!
Thanks, @Vicki-7859 Can you please provide the steps you have performed so I can reproduce the issue and assist you better.

Thanks for the response. My colleague is using a .net console app to connect to Redis. I am attaching a file of the code he is using.
