 # What's New in Azure Cache for Redis
 
+## January 2022
+
+### Support for managed identity in Azure Cache for Redis
+
+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 further allows the service to establish trusted access to storage for uses including data persistence and importing/exporting cache data.
+
+For more information, see [Managed identity with Azure Cache for Redis (Preview)](cache-managed-identity.md).
