With Azure CNI Overlay, the cluster nodes are deployed into an Azure Virtual Network (VNet) subnet, whereas pods are assigned IP addresses from a private CIDR logically different from the VNet hosting the nodes. Pod and node traffic within the cluster use an overlay network, and Network Address Translation (using the node's IP address) is used to reach resources outside the cluster. This solution saves a significant amount of VNet IP addresses and enables you to seamlessly scale your cluster to very large sizes. An added advantage is that the private CIDR can be reused in different AKS clusters, truly extending the IP space available for containerized applications in AKS.

Like Azure CNI Overlay, Kubenet assigns IP addresses to pods from an address space logically different from the VNet but has scaling and other limitations. The below table provides a detailed comparison between Kubenet and Azure CNI Overlay. If you do not want to assign VNet IP addresses to pods due to IP shortage, then Azure CNI Overlay is the recommended solution.
