Why implement a /16 network wenn installing FME Flow via the marketplace in Azure

Before the FME Flow Marketplace installation on Azure I configured a /24 vnet with multiple subnets of 30 hosts. Enough I thought.

During the installation we discovered that only a vnet with a prefix of /16 vnet is accepted.
A red text is displayed: "the virtual network must contain an ipv4 address space larger than or equal to 16 ”
Wenn a /16 vnet is applied everything worked fine.

But… why a /16 vnet, /16, (more than 65.000 hosts)?
I don't want to waste a /16 vnet.
Is there a way to change this behave and use our /24 vnet?
 

Hello,

Unfortunately, we have not comprehensively tested deployment using /24 as the vnet instead of the /16 vnet . However, you could use the IAC templates to test this out . We have a bicep template shared  here https://github.com/safesoftware/fme-server-iac-templates/blob/main/Azure/bicep/main.bicep that can be used to customize these parameters-
