- Azure Cloud Provider now supports using Azure network resources (Virtual Network, Load Balancer, Public IP, Route Table, Network Security Group, etc.) in different AAD Tenant and Subscription than those for the Kubernetes cluster. To use the feature, please reference https://kubernetes-sigs.github.io/cloud-provider-azure/install/configs/#host-network-resources-in-different-aad-tenant-and-subscription.
