    Hello Bishnu Shankar

    Greetings!

    I understand that you want to connect to the Redis cache privately using a bastion host for multiple users simultaneously.

    Could you please provide the following details to assist you with this issue:

    • What type of Bastion SKU are you using? Note that the Developer SKU does not support concurrent users.
    • How is the Redis Cache being accessed privately? Have you enabled any private endpoints for the Redis Cache?
    • Are you using SSH to connect to the Redis cache?

    Check the below document for more understanding:

    And also check the Bastion SKU limitations:
