See [Configure multiple IP addresses per cluster load balancer](howto-multiple-ips.md) for details. Azure Red Hat OpenShift 4.x has a 250 pod-per-node limit and a 250 compute node limit. For instructions on adding large clusters, see [Deploy a large Azure Red Hat OpenShift cluster](howto-large-clusters.md).
