Description

Azure Virtual Network now supports up to 16X more private IP addresses with configuration of blocks of private IP addresses on a network interface. 

Network interfaces in Azure support configuration of one primary and multiple secondary IP configurations. This capability enables you to configure a /28 CIDR block of private IPv4 addresses for secondary IP configurations, giving you 16 usable IP addresses per IP configuration. So, the total number of usable IP addresses in a virtual network is now 16X. 

This capability is particularly usable for scenarios where customers need to deploy a large number of K8s containers in a virtual network and be able to route between VMs and K8s containers seamlessly.

To learn more about how to configure private IP address blocks on a network interface, see Assign private IP address prefixes to virtual machines.
