Public Preview: Azure Virtual Network now supports configuration of private IP address blocks on network interfaces

Azure Virtual Network now supports up to 16X more private IP addresses with configuration of blocks of private IP addresses on a network interface. Network interfaces in Azure support configuration of one primary and multiple secondary IP configurations. This capability enables you to configure a /28 CIDR block of private IPv4 addresses for secondary IP configurations, giving you 16 usable IP addresses per IP configuration. So, the total number of usable IP addresses in a virtual network is now 16X. This capability is particularly usable for scenarios where customers need to deploy a large number of K8s containers in a virtual network and be able to route between VMs and K8s containers seamlessly. To learn more about how to configure private IP address blocks on a network interface, see [Assign private IP address prefixes to virtual machines](https://aka.ms/configure-pon).
