Abstract
Techniques for capacity bursting using a remote control plane are described. A method of capacity bursting using a remote control plane includes determining that a first control plane associated with a first area of a provider network has insufficient capacity to manage a plurality of resources in the first area, sending a request for a second control plane in a second area of the provider network to manage at least a first portion of the plurality of resources in the first area, the second control plane identified based at least on a backup hierarchy, and updating management of at least the first portion of the resources in the first area from the first control plane to the second control plane, wherein one or more references to endpoints of the first control plane are updated to be references to endpoints of the second control plane for at least the first portion of the resources managed by the second control plane.
