General availability: Managed identity to connect Azure Cache for Redis to storage

Azure Cache for Redis now supports authenticating storage account connections using managed identity. Identity is established through Azure Active Directory, and both system-assigned and user-assigned identities are supported. This allows you to establish trusted access to storage for uses including data persistence and importing/exporting cache data. Using managed identity to connect to storage account limits the need to manage storage keys and gives you tighter and more secure control over storage account access.
