Description

AKS virtual nodes allows you to elastically provision additional pods inside Azure Container Instances that start in seconds.

With a few clicks in the Azure portal, you can turn on the virtual node feature and get the flexibility and portability of a container-focused experience in an AKS environment—and there’s no need to manage additional compute resources.

This feature is powered by the open source Virtual Kubelet technology, and is now available to the public.
