API horizontal scaling in a kubernetes cluster and load balancing at API gateway

10/2/2019

I have been an API developer and deployed some spring boot micro services API on to a kubernetes cluster, I am handling Load balancing and OAuth authentication at my API Gateway (APIGEE). While performing stress testing and monitoring requests I observe there is a sudden spike in traffic from south-east Asian region. Accordingly I scale horizontally and spin Off a few more Kubernetes PODS holding my API in that region. How can I manage/update my Load Balance to include the newly created pods 'Totally new '?
