Q16 AKS Domain 1 · 20–25% of exam Priority · Real Exam

Which AKS network plugin assigns pods IP addresses directly from the VNet subnet, enabling direct pod addressing from on-premises?

  1. A kubenet
  2. B Azure CNI (correct answer)
  3. C Flannel
  4. D Calico

Shortcut: Azure CNI allocates pod IPs from the VNet subnet, so pods are routable within the VNet and from peered/on-prem networks. kubenet uses an overlay with NAT and requires user-defined routes.
