Abstract
Techniques for scaling additional capacity for secure access solutions and other workloads of enterprise edge networks in and out of a cloud-computing network based on demand. The techniques may include determining that a capacity associated with a secure access node of an enterprise edge network meets or exceeds a threshold capacity. Based at least in part on the capacity meeting or exceeding the threshold capacity, the techniques may include causing a facsimile of the secure access node to be spun up on a cloud-computing network that is remote from the enterprise edge network. In this way, new connection requests received from client devices can be redirected to the facsimile of the secure access node. Additionally, or alternatively, one or more existing connections between client devices and the secure access node may be migrated to the facsimile of the secure access node in the cloud.
