Question

You have multiple on-premises networks. You have multiple Azure subscriptions. Each subscription contains a virtual network that is assigned an IP address space of 172.16.0.0/16. Each virtual network is connected to the on- premises networks by using ExpressRoute. You plan to deploy a container orchestration solution that will use multiple Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) clusters. The clusters will be deployed to the existing virtual networks. You need to recommend a network configuration for the AKS clusters. The solution must meet the following requirements: - Minimize the number of IP addresses required on each virtual network. - Support outbound connectivity to on-premises datacenters. - Support Windows node pools. Which AKS network model should you recommend?

Explanation

Azure CNI is a network model designed for advanced networking. It provides full virtual network connectivity for pods, allowing for pod-to-pod and pod-to-VM connectivity. It's ideal for scenarios where advanced AKS features, such as virtual nodes, are required. It's suitable for scenarios where sufficient IP address space is available, and external resources need to reach pods directly. AKS network policies are also supported with Azure CNI. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cloud-adoption-framework/scenarios/app- platform/aks/network-topology-and-connectivity
