Generally Available: Multiple address prefixes for subnets in Azure Virtual Networks

Share

Services

Support for multiple address prefixes in a subnet is now generally available in Azure Virtual Networks. Azure Virtual Network subnets supported only a single address prefix, which limited the scale out for certain applications when the address space was exhausted. This capability now allows adding additional address prefixes to the subnet, expanding the available address space without the need to empty the subnet to resize. The key benefits of this approach are – * Dynamic subnet expansion without impacting existing workloads in subnet * Efficient subnet address space usage with scope for expansion when needed [Learn more](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-network/how-to-multiple-prefixes-subnet?tabs=powershell).
