Some scanners flag unsupported versions of common products, but coverage varies, and none of them give you the date in advance. Running Amazon ElastiCache for Redis 7 past its EOL date creates a growing attack surface that a clean scan result does not rule out.
Migrate to Amazon ElastiCache for Redis 7 or implement compensating controls — network segmentation, enhanced monitoring, restricted access — while migration is underway.
