Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Verify network connectivity
Memorystore Redis instances require the client to be in the same VPC or connected network with proper firewall rules allowing traffic.Step 2: Check firewall rules
If the client IP is not authorized or firewall rules block Redis port (6379), connection will fail.Step 3: Other options less likely
Memory issues or version incompatibility usually cause errors but not connection failures. Cross-project issues are rare if network is configured properly.Final Answer:
The client IP is not authorized in the VPC network's firewall rules -> Option DQuick Check:
Check firewall and network permissions [OK]
