Cloud workload proxy as link-local service configured to access a service proxy gateway via a link-local IP address to communicate with an external target service via a private network

摘要

Concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to a cloud workload proxy as link-local service. According to one aspect disclosed herein, a datacenter environment system can include an infrastructure network, a service proxy gateway attached to the infrastructure network, and a software-defined networking (“SDN”) controller. The service proxy gateway can include an infrastructure network address. The SDN controller can be configured with a link-local Internet protocol (“IP”) address to the infrastructure network address. The SDN controller can store the link-local IP address mapped to the infrastructure network address for routing packets from a workload executing in a cloud computing environment to a target service operating external to the datacenter environment system.
