Azure Redis TLS Upgrades May Impact Sitecore 8.x Implementations

Microsoft Azure will shift support to TLS 1.2 for Azure Redis Cache and will stop supporting TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 effective May 11th. For details see the Microsoft documentation on the issue.

This change may impact Sitecore Managed Cloud customers using Sitecore version 8.x that depend on Azure Redis Cache on .NET 4.6.1 below and also using TLS 1 or TLS 1.1.

The following article outlines how to ensure compatibility with TLS 1.2 for Azure Redis and Sitecore 8.x: https://kb.sitecore.net/articles/067788.
