Abstract
A multi-cloud overlay network for supporting communications between a first public cloud network and a second public cloud network. The overlay network features a management virtual private network, which includes a network load balancing (NLB) component and a controller registered as a target on a port of the NLB component. The overlay network further includes one or more spoke or transit gateways and a multi-cloud access virtual private cloud (VPC) operating within the first public cloud network, and a remote cloud load balancer component operating the second public cloud network. The remote cloud load balancer component is communicatively coupled between the multi-cloud access VPC and one or more remote spoke or transit gateways. The multi-cloud access VPC includes a VPC endpoint that is assigned a private IP address and communicatively coupled to the NLB component and a virtual private network (VPN) gateway communicatively coupled to a private transport.
