 AKS nodes can be referenced in the load balancer backend pools by either their IP configuration (Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets based membership) or by their IP address only. Utilizing the IP address based backend pool membership provides higher efficiencies when updating services and provisioning load balancers, especially at high node counts. Provisioning new clusters with IP based backend pools and converting existing clusters is now supported. When combined with NAT Gateway or user-defined routing egress types, provisioning of new nodes and services are more performant.

 #### Requirements
 
-* The `aks-preview` extension must be at least version 0.5.103.

-#### Install the aks-preview CLI extension
-
-```azurecli-interactive
-# Install the aks-preview extension
-az extension add --name aks-preview
-
-# Update the extension to make sure you have the latest version installed
-az extension update --name aks-preview
-```
-
-#### Register the `IPBasedLoadBalancerPreview` preview feature
-
-To create an AKS cluster with IP based backend pools, you must enable the `IPBasedLoadBalancerPreview` feature flag on your subscription.
-
-Register the `IPBasedLoadBalancerPreview` feature flag by using the `az feature register` command, as shown in the following example:
-
-```azurecli-interactive
-az feature register --namespace "Microsoft.ContainerService" --name "IPBasedLoadBalancerPreview"
-```
-
-It takes a few minutes for the status to show *Registered*. Verify the registration status by using the `az feature list` command:
-
-```azurecli-interactive
-az feature list -o table --query "[?contains(name, 'Microsoft.ContainerService/IPBasedLoadBalancerPreview')].{Name:name,State:properties.state}"
-```
-
-When the feature has been registered, refresh the registration of the *Microsoft.ContainerService* resource provider by using the `az provider register` command:
-
-```azurecli-interactive
-az provider register --namespace Microsoft.ContainerService
-```
