System and method for reduced cloud IP address utilization

摘要

System and method for providing cloud computing services is described. In one embodiment, the system includes a cloud computing environment (206), the cloud computing environment comprising resources for supporting cloud workloads (218), each cloud workload having associated therewith an internal cloud address (216); and a routing system disposed between external workloads of an external computing environment (204) and the cloud workloads, the routing system for directing traffic from an external address (212) to the internal addresses (216) of the cloud workloads.
