Azure Cache for Redis Enterprise caches — migrate to Azure Managed Redis before Mar 31, 2027

AzureDeprecations & retirementsTeam planSeverity: highazure.armresource

Azure Cache for Redis Enterprise and Enterprise Flash instances must be migrated to Azure Managed Redis before March 31, 2027

What LeftSize checks

All Azure Cache for Redis Enterprise and Enterprise Flash instances retire on March 31, 2027. Instances are disabled starting April 1, 2027. Migrate to Azure Managed Redis (self-service migration or Microsoft migration tooling).

Why it matters

Missed retirement and end-of-support dates turn into forced upgrades, outages or extended support charges at a moment you did not choose.
