Pull request overview

Adds a missing entry to the project’s release notes to document the public preview of Advanced Container Networking Services (ACNS) performance acceleration for Azure CNI powered by Cilium.

Changes:

  • Added a new bullet under Preview features describing ACNS performance acceleration mode (eBPF host routing / BpfVeth datapath).

CHANGELOG.md Outdated
* Windows Server 2025 is now supported in preview. This new version includes the following updates: Containerd 2.0 is now default, Generation 2 VMs are enabled by default, and FIPS is enabled by default. For more information on upgrading your windows OS version, see [AKS documentation](https://aka.ms/aks/upgrade-windows-os-version).
* [Azure Linux with OS Guard](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/azure-linux/intro-azure-linux-os-guard), a hardened and immutable variant of Azure Linux, is now in public preview.
* [Istio CNI](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/aks/istio-cni) is now in public preview. Istio CNI improves security by eliminating the need for `NET_ADMIN` and `NET_RAW` capabilities in application workloads within the service mesh.
* Advanced Container Networking Services (ACNS) [performance acceleration mode](https://aka.ms/acnsperformance) is now in Public Preview. Choose the BpfVeth datapath acceleration mode for Azure CNI Powered by Cilium to improve pod networking performance and reduce node CPU usage.
