Abstract
Systems and methods include obtaining for a tenant a definition of a sub-cloud in a cloud-based system, wherein the cloud-based system includes a plurality of data centers geographically distributed, and wherein the sub-cloud includes a subset of the plurality of data centers; receiving a request, in a cloud system from a user device, to access an application for the tenant, wherein the application is constrained to the sub-cloud, and wherein the user device is remote over the Internet; determining if the user device is permitted to access the application; if the user device is not permitted to access the application, notifying the user device the application does not exist; and if the user device is permitted to access the application, stitching together connections between the sub-cloud, the application, and the user device to provide access to the application.
