Azure CNI Overlay with Application Gateway for Containers and AGIC is now generally available.
Azure CNI Overlay enables AKS clusters to use pod IPs from a separate CIDR, conserving VNet IP space and simplifying multi-cluster deployments. Paired with Application Gateway and Application Gateway for Containers, enable secure, efficient load balancing for AKS services, while the overlay network remains local to the AKS cluster.
Key benefits of this solution include:
- Efficient IP address management: Conserve VNet IP address space and maximize cluster scale with CNI Overlay.
- Controlled ingress: Manage external ingress to designated services within the AKS cluster’s private overlay network, enhancing security and reducing exposure to external threats.
- Simplified deployment: Network configuration for CNI Overlay or CNI with Application Gateway for Containers and Application Gateway Ingress Controller is detected automatically; no additional configuration is required.
