## Connection draining

During scale down operations, when the NGINX capacity decreases, existing connections to NGINX are given around 60s to complete before they are terminated to satisfy the scaled down capacity and no new connections to the scaled down NGINX instances are made.

couple points I want to try and improve:

  • not all connections will be subject to this, only the ones on the draining dataplane VM, but we don't talk about Bruno VMs/instances.
  • "no new connections are made" -- all my traffic is dropped?!

Something a bit more like:

During scale-in operations some connections older than 60s may be Reset. The service will handle any immediate reconnects, no delay is necessary before reconnecting.
