found subnet without properties

Error message

found subnet without properties

What it means

Malformed-API-object guard in the Azure subnet reconciler: the matched subnet has no Properties block in the API response, so its address space/provisioning state cannot be read. kOps refuses to adopt an object it cannot fully describe.
