Announcing the general availability of Azure CNI Overlay in Azure Kubernetes Service

Microsoft has announced the general availability of Azure CNI Overlay, a new networking solution that assigns IP addresses from the user-defined overlay address space rather than using IP addresses from the VNET.

Azure CNI Overlay uses the routing of these private address spaces as a native virtual network feature, which means that cluster nodes do not need to perform any extra encapsulation to make the overlay container network work.
This allows the Pod overlay network to achieve the same performance as native VNET traffic and paves the way to support millions of pods across thousands of nodes.
