Abstract
Embodiments establish a pool of tunnel connections using a secure protocol. A pool of tunnels can be initiated from endpoint connection managers to cloud connection managers, where a request is received from the endpoint connection managers by the cloud connection managers. A request from a cloud client to communicate with a secure computing device using a first of the endpoint connection managers is received at a first of the cloud connection managers. One of the pool of tunnels that is connected to the first endpoint connection manager is identified. The identified tunnel is configured to connect the cloud client and the first endpoint connection manager.
