Microsoft Azure Administrator Associate AZ-104 Practice Question

The Azure Container Networking Interface (CNI) networking model allows each pod in an AKS cluster to receive an IP address from the Azure virtual network subnet. This setup enables pods to communicate directly with other resources on the virtual network and on-premises networks connected via VPN or ExpressRoute, without network address translation (NAT). The kubenet networking model assigns IP addresses at the node level and uses NAT for pod communication, which does not provide the required direct pod connectivity. Virtual Network (VNet) peering connects Azure virtual networks but does not assign IP addresses to pods. Azure Network Policy is used to define network traffic rules but does not affect the underlying networking model or pod IP assignment.
