Feature Request: AZ affinity routing (valkey)

[Phfollert]

Hi everyone,

I noticed that this library is now the official library for redis in go. Having that in consideration, are you open to support valkey features? We switched to valkey recently and https://valkey.io/blog/az-affinity-strategy/ seems interesting to try.

Hello @Phfollert and thank you for this suggestion. In my mind this is a cloud provider specific feature, which can (and should) be outside of the client. There is a latency checking mechanism in go-redis. I am willing to continue the discussion, but my initial feedback is that in my mind this should not be part of the client.
