SECURE PUBLIC CONNECTIVITY TO VIRTUAL MACHINES OF A CLOUD COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT

摘要

A network device, of a cloud computing environment, receives a packet destined for a virtual machine of the cloud computing environment. The packet is received from a user device and via public network. The network device is associated with a first public Internet protocol (IP) address, and the virtual machine is associated with a second public IP address that is different than the first public IP address. The network device determines, based on the packet, the second public IP address associated with the virtual machine, and provides the packet to the virtual machine based on the second public IP address associated with the virtual machine.
