You can configure Managed DevOps Pools agents to run in an isolated virtual network or in an existing virtual network. This article describes how to configure your pool to run agents in your virtual network.

Managed DevOps Pools supports two types of networking configurations:
1616

17-
- Your continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) agents need to access resources that are only available in your company network through a service like Azure ExpressRoute.
18-
- Your CI/CD agents need to access resources that are isolated to private endpoints.
19-
- You want to network isolate your CI/CD infrastructure by bringing your own virtual network with company-specific firewall rules.
20-
- Any other unique use cases that can't be achieved by out-of-the-box Managed DevOps Pools networking features.
17+
- [Isolated virtual network](#isolated-virtual-network): Each pool gets its own isolated virtual network that's created and managed by the Managed DevOps Pools service.
18+
- [Agents injected into existing virtual network](#agents-injected-into-existing-virtual-network): You can bring your own virtual network and subnet. All virtual machines created for the pool will use that subnet, and no other resources will be able to use the subnet. You might want to add agents from Managed DevOps Pools to your own virtual network for scenarios such as:

You can add your pool's agents to your virtual network by using the following steps:
24+
## Isolated virtual network
25+
26+
By default, all pools use a Microsoft-provided virtual network, which restricts all inbound traffic and has the following outbound traffic configuration options.
27+
28+
1. Default outbound access connectivity is the current default, which allows all outbound traffic using a Microsoft-provided IP address. [Default outbound access for VMs in Azure is scheduled to be retired](https://azure.microsoft.com/updates?id=default-outbound-access-for-vms-in-azure-will-be-retired-transition-to-a-new-method-of-internet-access). When default outbound access is retired, pools will be configured with one static IP address by default.
29+
1. Instead of using default outbound access, you can configure your pool to use up to 16 static outbound IP addresses. Managed DevOps Pools will create a NAT gateway in the same region as your pool to provide the IP addresses. This configuration enables you to allowlist specific IP addresses on external services that your pipelines need to access.
30+
- The NAT gateway incurs additional Azure costs. You can model how much it will cost by using the Azure cost calculator. For more information, see [Azure NAT Gateway pricing](https://azure.microsoft.com/pricing/details/azure-nat-gateway/).
31+
32+
>[!IMPORTANT]
33+
> If you modify the static IP address count after the pool is created, the IP addresses are subject to change, and you'll need to obtain the new IP addresses and update your allowlist on external services after the update operation completes.
34+
35+
#### [Azure portal](#tab/azure-portal/)
36+
37+
To configure IP Address Settings when creating a pool, go to the **Networking** tab. To update an existing pool, go to **Settings** > **Networking**.
38+
39+
Choose **None** for **Route through public IP addresses** to use default outbound access.
40+
41+
Choose **Microsoft Provided IPs** to configure static outbound IP addresses and specify the number of static IP addresses you want to use. Managed DevOps Pools creates a NAT gateway for you and manages the IP addresses.
42+
43+
:::image type="content" source="./media/configure-networking/ip-address-settings.png" alt-text="Screenshot of IP address settings.":::
44+
45+
46+
#### [ARM template](#tab/arm/)
47+
48+
You can configure the static IP address count by specifying a `staticIpAddressCount` in the [networkProfile](/azure/templates/microsoft.devopsinfrastructure/pools?pivots=deployment-language-arm-template#networkprofile-1) section under `fabricProfile` when you create or update a pool.
49+
50+
To use default outbound access, omit the `networkProfile` property when you create or update a pool.
51+
52+
> [!NOTE]
53+
> The `staticIpAddressCount` property is available starting with API version `2025-09-20`.
54+
55+
The following example shows the `networkProfile` section with one static IP address configured.
56+
57+
```json
58+
{
59+
"name": "MyManagedDevOpsPool",
60+
"type": "Microsoft.DevOpsInfrastructure/pools",
61+
"apiVersion": "2025-09-20",
62+
...
63+
"properties": {
64+
...
65+
"fabricProfile": {
66+
"networkProfile": {
67+
"staticIpAddressCount": 1
68+
}
69+
}
70+
}
71+
}
72+
```
73+
74+
After you create or update your pool with static IP addresses configured, you can find the assigned IP addresses in the payload of the response.
75+
76+
```json
77+
"networkProfile": {
78+
"ipAddresses": [
79+
"203.0.113.254"
80+
],
81+
"staticIpAddressCount": 1
82+
}
83+
```
84+
85+
#### [Azure CLI](#tab/azure-cli/)
86+
87+
You can configure the `staticIpAddressCount` in the `networkProfile` property in the `fabricProfile` section when you [create](/cli/azure/mdp/pool#az-mdp-pool-create) or [update](/cli/azure/mdp/pool#az-mdp-pool-update) a pool.
88+
89+
To use default outbound access, omit the `networkProfile` property when you create or update a pool.
90+
91+
```azurecli
92+
az mdp pool create \
93+
--fabric-profile fabric-profile.json
94+
# other parameters omitted for space
95+
```
96+
97+
The following example shows the `networkProfile` section of the **fabric-profile.json** file with one static IP address configured.
98+
99+
```json
100+
{
101+
"vmss": {
102+
"sku": {...},
103+
"images": [...],
104+
"osProfile": {...},
105+
"storageProfile": {...},
106+
"networkProfile": {
107+
"staticIpAddressCount": 1
108+
}
109+
}
110+
}
111+
```
112+
113+
#### [Bicep](#tab/bicep/)
114+
115+
To use Bicep, add a [networkProfile](/azure/templates/microsoft.devopsinfrastructure/pools?pivots=deployment-language-bicep#networkprofile) property in the `fabricProfile` section. Add a `staticIpAddressCount` property under `networkProfile` the desired count. In the following example, the pool is configured to use a single static outbound IP address.
116+
117+
To use default outbound access, omit the `networkProfile` property when you create or update a pool.
118+
119+
> [!NOTE]
120+
> The `staticIpAddressCount` property is available starting with API version `2025-09-20`.
121+
122+
```bicep
123+
resource managedDevOpsPools 'Microsoft.DevOpsInfrastructure/pools@2025-09-20' = {

staticIpAddressCount: 1
131+
}
132+
}
133+
}
134+
```
135+
136+
* * *
137+
138+
> [!NOTE]
139+
> There is a known issue: if your pool is configured with a [managed identity](./configure-identity.md), API calls won't return the `ipAddresses` property unless the DevOpsInfrastructure service principal is assigned the [Managed Identity Operator](/azure/role-based-access-control/built-in-roles/identity#managed-identity-operator) role on the managed identity. For detailed steps, see [Assign Azure roles by using the Azure portal](/azure/role-based-access-control/role-assignments-portal).
140+
>
141+
> Granting this role is not required for the static IP addresses to be functional. Without this role assignment, you can still find the assigned IP addresses by viewing them on the **Networking** page in the Azure portal.
