  2. What is the role of the Azure CNI plugin in AKS networking?
    The Azure CNI plugin is responsible for providing network connectivity between pods within an AKS cluster and to the wider Azure network.

  3. How does the Azure CNI plugin manage network traffic in AKS?
    The Azure CNI plugin uses the Azure network fabric to manage network traffic, including traffic between pods within the AKS cluster and to and from the outside world.

  4. What is a pod IP address in AKS CNI based networking?
    A pod IP address in AKS CNI based networking is a unique IP address assigned to each pod within the AKS cluster, used for communication between pods.

  5. Can I use custom DNS in an AKS CNI based network?

  8. How does AKS CNI based networking handle load balancing?
    AKS CNI based networking uses Kubernetes services to handle load balancing, automatically distributing incoming traffic across multiple pods for high availability.

  9. What is network policy in an AKS CNI based network?
    Network policy in an AKS CNI based network allows you to control and restrict network access between pods within the AKS cluster.

  10. Can I access my AKS CNI based network from the internet?
    Yes, you can access your AKS CNI based network from the internet by configuring a public IP address for the AKS cluster or by using a service such as Azure Front Door.
