AKS Standard Load balancer setup

Hey,

I have recently deployed a new AKS cluster with a standard load balancer, it has been deployed with the new IP address to be used by outbound traffic (since a standard load balancer doesn't allow outbound traffic without a defined outbound rule).
Besides, we do use an Ingress controller, so my question is, do I need two separate IPs for inbound and outbound traffic.

    @Veronika Bulavina , the egress/outbound IP will be used when traffic is initiated from an AKS pod to external services hosted over the Internet.
    For ingress/inbound traffic from Internet, the ingress/inbound IP will be used and not the outbound IP.

    Hey @Vidya Narasimhan ,

    I understand that, my question was if there is a possibility to use the unique IP address for ingress and egress traffic?
