by Guest Melanie_Kraintz- 0 replies
- 2 views
Azure Red Hat OpenShift (ARO) is a fully managed Red Hat OpenShift service on Azure. We are excited to announce two significant enhancements to ARO's capabilities: The ability to configure multiple IP addresses per cluster load balancer is now generally available. ARO clusters can now scale up to 250 worker nodes. Previously, ARO clusters were limited to 62 worker nodes due to having only one IP (Internet Protocol) address associated with the cluster's load balancer.
