Abstract
Techniques for providing an API gateway for network policy and configuration management with public cloud are disclosed. In some embodiments, a system, process, and/or computer program product for an API gateway for network policy and configuration management with public cloud includes receiving a native or extended public cloud application programming interface (API) request at the API gateway; processing the public cloud API request; extracting data from the request for use in other API calls; and, in some cases, translating the public cloud API request into a native public cloud API request with or without adding parameters or properties to and/or substituting new values for parameters in the public cloud API request (e.g., in some cases modifying the public cloud API request can include inserting additional parameters/properties, such as instance IP address that was not present in the initial API request); and sending the native public cloud API request to the public cloud environment.
