Support for multiple network interfaces on AKS kubernetes cluster pod

Hi,
I have created a kubernetes cluster on Azure AKS cloud. I am trying to deploy pods that require more then one network interface. On a local K8 cluster, I do the same using Open Vswicth or Multus CNI plugins. I want to know what is the equivalent on a AKS public cloud. In case such a functionality is not yet present, then is there a plan to bring in Multus or equivalent on Azure cloud ?

thanks,
-RP Mishra

    @Rajendra P Mishra Apologies for delay in response and all the inconvenience caused because of the issue.

    I had discussion with our internal team and got to know that currently we this is not supported scenario and there is no near-term plan to add it.

    You can deploy multus crds on the AKS cluster. I tried it and it works. Here are the steps.

    git clone https://github.com/intel/multus-cni.git
    cd multus-cni
    cat ./multus-cni/deployments/multus-daemonset.yml | kubectl apply -f
