Question about gateway nodepool

[junpark12]

Hi. I have questions about gateway nodepool.

• if i configured two gateway VMSS instance with 2 public ip, what happen if the first VMSS instance shutdown due to hardware failure.
  In the figure below, can POD1 communicate externally through the secondary node? Or will the external connection fail until the first node is recreated?

• What size should I set the gateway nodepool VM? Are there any general guide or load testing results etc?

Thanks.

For your first question, we have an LB in front of the instances and it balances traffic based on probes. If the first node is down, the probe won't work and LB will automatically route traffic to the 2nd instance so connection will still succeed.

We are doing load tests recently. Will share results later.
