The AKS Flex team is building the next generation of Azure Kubernetes Service: a single AKS control plane that can manage worker nodes running anywhere, whether in other Azure regions, on-premises data centers, bare-metal fleets, edge sites, or other clouds. Build multi-site networking that gives pods transparent connectivity across sites, using encrypted overlays (e.g., WireGuard), tunneling (GENEVE, VXLAN, IPIP), direct L3 routing, BGP, and eBPF dataplanes.
