Abstract
Some embodiments of the invention provide a method for implementing an edge device that handles data traffic between a logical network and an external network. The method monitors resource usage of a node pool that includes multiple nodes that each executes a respective set of pods. Each of the pods is for performing a respective set of data message processing operations for at least one of multiple logical routers. The method determines that a particular node in the node pool has insufficient resources for the particular node's respective set of pods to adequately perform their respective sets of data message processing operations. Based on the determination, the method automatically provides additional resources to the node pool by instantiating at least one additional node in the node pool.
