> If you have applications on your cluster that can establish a large number of connections to small set of destinations, like many instances of a frontend application connecting to a database, you may have a scenario susceptible to encounter SNAT port exhaustion. SNAT port exhaustion happens when an application runs out of outbound ports to use to establish a connection to another application or host. If you have a scenario susceptible to encounter SNAT port exhaustion, we highly recommended you increase the allocated outbound ports and outbound frontend IPs on the load balancer.

By default, AKS sets *AllocatedOutboundPorts* on its load balancer to `0`, which enables [automatic outbound port assignment based on backend pool size][azure-lb-outbound-preallocatedports] when creating a cluster. For example, if a cluster has 50 or fewer nodes, 1024 ports are allocated to each node. As the number of nodes in the cluster increases, fewer ports are available per node. To show the *AllocatedOutboundPorts* value for the AKS cluster load balancer, use `az network lb outbound-rule list`.
