Support for Public IPs

[gablemire]

Tell us about your request

Using NAP in AKS, I would like to be able to enable public IP for the nodes, as well as the Node Public IP Prefix to be used. I need to expose workloads directly through the hostPort and have those host be exposed to the public internet for performance reasons.

Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard?

Currently, this is feasible through regular NodePools, but the hard limitation of 100 node pools in a given cluster is limiting for our use case. I'm investigating if NAP would work for us, but this feature missing is a potential blocker.

Are you currently working around this issue?

We are currently in the process of figuring out how we will solve those issues.
