Dynamically defined virtual private network tunnels in hybrid cloud environments

摘要

A plurality of virtual private network (VPN) tunnels between a first cloud and a second cloud in a hybrid cloud environment are managed by a VPN Manager. A request including a first set of requirements is received from a first cloud application resident in the first cloud for a first VPN tunnel. The request is sent to a system in a first cloud, wherein the first system creates the first VPN tunnel according to the first set of requirements. The VPN Manager receives an event pertaining to the first VPN tunnel. In response to the event, the VPN Manager sends a modification request to the first system containing a second set of requirements. The first system tunes the first VPN tunnel according to a second set of requirements.
