    The CLI covers every operation in the contract except Redis_CheckNameAvailability,
    Operations_List, AsyncOperationStatus_Get, PrivateLinkResources_ListByRedisCache and the
    PrivateEndpointConnections_* set, which are handled by the generic `az network
    private-endpoint-connection` group.
