Abstract

A method for providing external access into a secured networked virtualization environment, includes performing a leadership election amongst nodes of the secured networked virtualization environment to elect a leader node, assigning a cluster virtual IP address to the leader node and generating a reverse tunnel, using a processor, by the leader node to allow for an external entity to communicate with the secured networked virtualization environment.
