hybrid-cloud-networking
Configure secure, high-performance connectivity between on-premises infrastructure and cloud platforms using VPN and dedicated connections. Use when building hybrid cloud architectures, connecting data centers to cloud, or implementing secure cross-premises networking.
Why this skill is useful
Provides specific Terraform scripts and configuration patterns for hybrid cloud networking that the AI wouldn't reliably generate on its own.
What it needs
Requires terraform installed locally. About 3k tokens when loaded. Last updated 2026-08-05. 38,570 stars on the source repository.
What this skill does
Hybrid Cloud Networking Configure secure, high-performance connectivity between on-premises and cloud environments using VPN, Direct Connect, ExpressRoute, Interconnect, and FastConnect. Purpose Establish secure, reliable network connectivity between on-premises data centers and cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI). When to Use Connect on-premises to cloud Extend datacenter to cloud Implement hybrid active-active setups Meet compliance requirements Migrate to cloud gradually Connection Options AWS Connectivity 1. Site-to-Site VPN IPSec VPN over internet Up to 1.25 Gbps per tunnel Cost-effective for moderate bandwidth Higher latency, internet-dependent 2. AWS Direct Connect Dedicated network connection 1 Gbps to 100 Gbps Lower latency, consistent bandwidth More expensive, setup time required Reference: See references/direct-connect.md Azure Connectivity 1. Site-to-Site VPN 2. Azure ExpressRoute Private connection via connectivity provider Up to 100 Gbps Low latency, high reliability Premium for global connectivity GCP Connectivity 1. Cloud VPN IPSec VPN (Classic or HA VPN) HA VPN: 99.99% SLA Up to 3 Gbps per tunnel 2. Cloud Interconnect Dedicated (10 Gbps, 100 Gbps) Partner (50 Mbps to 50 Gbps) Lower latency than VPN OCI Connectivity 1. IPSec VPN Connect IPSec VPN with redundant tunnels Dynamic routing through DRG Good fit for branch offices and migration phases 2. OCI FastConnect Private dedicated connectivity through Oracle or partner edge Suitable for predictable throughput and lower-latency hybrid traffic Commonly paired with DRG for hub-and-spoke designs Hybrid Network Patterns Pattern 1: Hub-and-Spoke Pattern 2: Multi-Region Hybrid Pattern 3: Multi-Cloud Hybrid Routing Configuration BGP Configuration Route Propagation Enable route propagation on route tables Use BGP for dynamic routing Implement route filtering Monitor route advertisements Security Best Practices 1. Use private connectivity (Direct Connect/ExpressRoute/Interconnect/FastConnect) 2. …
