Azure AKS advanced Networking Design Kubernetes cluster is created under Virtual Network k8s-vnet 10.0.0.0/8 (but it is limited to 65,536 configured IP addresses) Under this Vnet we need to create a new Subnet named k8s-nodes-subnet with CIDR 10.10.0.0/16. This subnet is used by K8s nodes and Pods, so plan the sizing accordingly Service Subnet 10.20.0.0/16. This IP ranges are used by the services in Kubernetes. This subnet should not conflict with the Nodes Subnet or Docker Bridge CIDR (Default 172.

AKS — Azure Kubernetes Service Overview AKS is a managed Kubernetes service by Azure. Kubernetes master/control plane is maintained and managed by Azure. We can SSH in to Nodes and manage nodes to a certain extent. We can access the cluster through Kuberenetes API. Azure provides monitoring integration with Azure monitor. Docker UCP is the container runtime in Nodes. We do not have much options to customise API server configuration parameters or change Container Run time.
