As per title,
I am struggling to make a connection with a Redis cluster using the redis.asyncio library (it works perfectly fine with master/slave configuration). I created a simple test to check the connection and it timeouts. Surely I got something wrong here:

import asyncio
from redis.asyncio.cluster import RedisCluster

async def test_redis_connection():
try:
# Connect to the Redis cluster
redis = RedisCluster.from_url(‘redis://localhost:6379′, encoding=’utf-8’, decode_responses=True)

    # Test the connection by setting and getting a value
    await redis.set('key1', 'bar')
    value = await redis.get('key1')

    # Print the result
    print(f"Connection successful, value: {value}")

    # Close the connection
    await redis.close()
except Exception as e:
    print(f"Connection failed: {e}")

For completeness, the redis cluster lives in my k8s cluster, the cluster is deployed using the bitnami redis-cluster chart, and I am port-forwarding the created service.
