Multi-Cloud Networking Patterns#

Multi-cloud networking connects workloads across two or more cloud providers into a coherent network. The motivations vary – vendor redundancy, best-of-breed service selection, regulatory requirements – but the challenges are the same: private connectivity between isolated networks, consistent service discovery, and traffic routing that handles failures.

VPN Tunnels Between Clouds#

IPsec VPN tunnels are the simplest way to connect two cloud networks. Each provider offers managed VPN gateways that terminate IPsec tunnels, encrypting traffic between VPCs without exposing it to the public internet.
