Support for multiple address
prefixes in a subnet is now generally available in Azure Virtual Networks.
Azure Virtual Network subnets
supported only a single address prefix, which limited the scale out for certain
applications when the address space was exhausted. This capability now allows
adding additional address prefixes to the subnet, expanding the available
address space without the need to empty the subnet to resize.
The key benefits of this
approach are –
- Dynamic subnet expansion without impacting existing
workloads in subnet
- Efficient subnet address space usage with scope for
expansion when needed
