GA: Support for disabling Windows outboundNAT in AKS
Published date: 08 May, 2024
Windows OutboundNAT can cause certain connection and communication issues with your AKS pods. An example issue is node port reuse. In this example, Windows OutboundNAT uses ports to translate your pod IP to your Windows node host IP, which can cause an unstable connection to the external service due to a port exhaustion issue.
Windows enables OutboundNAT by default. You can now manually disable OutboundNAT when creating new Windows agent pools.
