Assigning a private IPv4 or IPv6 address from your VPC to each pod and service

By default, the number of IP addresses available to be assigned to pods is a calculation based on the number of IP addresses available on each ENI and the number of ENIs that can be attached to the Amazon EC2 instance. The following formula applies:

(Number of ENIs * IP addresses per interface) - 3 = Total IPv4 addresses available for pods

The minus three is a result of the following:
