Release notes

• Behavior Changes
  • AKS clusters deployed in dual-stack (IPv4/IPv6) mode and utilizing instance-level public IP addresses will now receive both IPv4 and IPv6 public IP addresses. This enables the instance-level public IP feature for IPv6, whereas previously IPv6 traffic would still egress the cluster via the standard outbound configuration.
