Abstract

Described herein are methods and systems for automatically configuring virtual networks hosted by a cloud platform. This involves accessing configuration information defining a desired configuration and processing the configuration information to determine one or more required virtual network connections that, according to the configuration information, need to be created, each required virtual network connection defining a source virtual network and a destination virtual network that are to be connected. A connection is then automatically made to the cloud platform in order to create each required virtual network.
