Azure Stack HCI a Hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) solution is one of of the sought after solution in Private Cloud is serving its uses cases very well. As HCI support max of 16 Node there comes some challenges when you need to fully utilize resources and scale.
Azure Stack support SDN and provide isolation at Vnet level but Azure Stack HCI does not inherently support multitenancy. So you need to work on your provisioning layer to provide full multitenancy by adding tracking between IAM and Vnet.
Let see how we can scale customer workload across cluster. We need to use Virtual routing and forwarding(VRF). Single VRF for every customer and attach VLAN from to cluster. Since there is seprate VRF for every customer they can have overlapping IP work load can communicate across cluster as they are on same cluster.
PS: Every Customer can not use overlapping IP across Cluster.
