Description

AKS will now provision and manage a StandardV2 NAT Gateway for clusters using an AKS-managed virtual network.

StandardV2 is now the default managed NAT Gateway SKU for new clusters in supported regions when using the managedNATGateway outbound type. StandardV2 NAT Gateway provides zone redundancy by default, higher bandwidth and throughput, and IPv6 support.

Existing AKS clusters can migrate from a managed Standard NAT Gateway or load balancer to a managed StandardV2 NAT Gateway. Learn more.
