Virtual Network NAT(network address translation) simplifies outbound-only Internet connectivity for virtual networks. When configured on a subnet, all outbound connectivity uses your specified static public IP addresses. Outbound connectivity is possible without load balancer or public IP addresses directly attached to virtual machines.

Container network security is part of [Advanced Container Networking Services (ACNS)](/azure/aks/advanced-container-networking-services-overview). It provides enhanced control over AKS network security. With features like fully qualified domain name (FQDN) filtering, clusters using Azure CNI Powered by Cilium can implement FQDN-based network policies to achieve a Zero Trust security architecture in AKS.

211213
[Azure Virtual Network Manager](../../virtual-network-manager/overview.md) is a management service that enables you to group, configure, deploy, and manage virtual networks globally across subscriptions. With Virtual Network Manager, you can define [network groups](../../virtual-network-manager/concept-network-groups.md) to identify and logically segment your virtual networks. Then you can determine the [connectivity](../../virtual-network-manager/concept-connectivity-configuration.md) and [security configurations](../../virtual-network-manager/concept-security-admins.md) you want and apply them across all the selected virtual networks in network groups at once.
