Description

Running containerized workloads in shared environments can raise concerns around security and workload isolation. To address this, AKS now supports pod sandboxing, enabling customers to run containers in per-workload pod VMs. Each pod VM is isolated from others and from the host, providing a strong compute isolation boundary. 

This feature enhances workload security by reducing the risk of cross-pod interference and host-level vulnerabilities, making it ideal for multi-tenant scenarios or sensitive applications.
