Abstract

The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for remotely debugging applications in a private cloud environment. One example method includes establishing a first secure connection with a client device in response to receiving a request from the client device for a secure debugging session to remotely debug an application instance running in a private cloud environment. A host that is hosting the application instance is identified. A second secure connection is established with the identified host. A request is submitted, over the second secured connection, to the identified host, to instantiate a debug proxy process. The debug proxy process is configured to establish a secure inter-process communication channel with the application instance and instruct the application instance to run in a debug mode.
