eBPF Host Routing for AKS Advanced Container Networking is GA
eBPF Host Routing for Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) Advanced Container Networking is now generally available, enhancing networking performance. This feature offloads packet forwarding and routing decisions directly to the Linux kernel via eBPF, reducing iptables overhead. It delivers lower latency, higher throughput, and improved scalability for large-scale, latency-sensitive AKS workloads. The rollout process for existing clusters uses controlled node rotation to minimize disruption and maintain connection continuity.

- eBPF Host Routing achieves GA for AKS Advanced Networking
The feature improves Kubernetes networking performance by moving packet forwarding and routing to the Linux kernel using eBPF, reducing iptables overhead. This results in lower latency, fewer network hops, and higher throughput, especially for large-scale AKS deployments. An enhanced enablement experience uses controlled node rotation to minimize disruption.
