Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for deploying and maintaining appliances in a hybrid cloud computing system which includes an on-premise data center and a public cloud computing system configured to provide a common platform for managing and executing virtual workloads. Appliances to be deployed may include those required (or useful) for hybrid operations, including a cloud gateway appliance, a wide area network (WAN) optimizer, a layer 2 (L2) concentrator, and a mobility agent that handles virtual machine (VM) migration traffic. Such appliances are deployed first on the on-premise data center, and remote jobs are then sent to the public cloud to deploy the same appliances thereon. After deployment, the appliances deployed on the on-premise data center and corresponding appliances on the public cloud share configuration states and may further be wired together to communicate via secure encrypted tunnels.
