Multi-cloud connectivity and cloud on-ramp

Multi-cloud connectivity refers to the ability of the edge location to steer traffic to one or multiple cloud environments. This could span across workloads within a single cloud provider or multiple cloud providers. As business requirements evolve and cloud providers continue to offer differentiating services, a flexible solution with broad support is critical.

Because of the dynamic nature of cloud environments, the edge device needs to know in real-time where the application is hosted. SaaS or IaaS applications and services should be available via redundant paths, with appropriates routes automatically added or removed as services in the cloud change. Then all available paths should be measured and steered according to the business intent.
