Right. As others have pointed out Google Cloud balancer supports setting up max requests limits, but this is not exposed in kubernetes ingress API. If required, users can set these limits directly on GCLB after setting it up with kubemci. But they will be overwritten by kubemci update. A common scenario is to setup Pod autoscaler and cluster autoscaler to scale clusters or add more clusters in the same region rather than route requests to a different region. Disclaimer: I work on kubemci.
