Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for elastic policy scaling in multi-cloud fabrics. A method can involve deploying a cluster of policy agents on a hub virtual private cloud (VPC) that interconnects spoke VPCs in a cloud associated with a multi-cloud fabric, and mapping endpoints in the spoke VPCs to the policy agents. The method can involve distributing groups of policies for the endpoints across the policy agents based on the mapping of endpoints to policy agents, and advertising, by each policy agent to a respective first set of virtual gateways in the spoke VPCs, routes associated with endpoints mapped to the policy agent and preventing the policy agent from advertising routes associated with a second set of virtual gateways in the spoke VPCs. The method can involve applying, via the policy agent, a group of policies on the policy agent to traffic received by the policy agent.
