Example methods and systems are provided for simulation-based cross-cloud connectivity checks. One example method may include injecting a connectivity check packet in a first cloud environment, and obtaining first report information associated with a first stage of forwarding the connectivity check packet from one or more first observation points in the first cloud environment. The method may also comprise: based on configuration information associated with one or more second observation points in the second cloud environment, simulating a second stage of forwarding the connectivity check packet towards a second virtualized computing instance via the one or more second observation points. The method may further comprise: generating second report information associated with the simulated second stage to identify a connectivity status between a first virtualized computing instance and the second virtualized computing instance based on the first report information and the second report information.

An example method is provided for a computing device to perform user interface control based on a pinch gesture. The computing device includes a touch-sensitive display. The method may comprise: displaying, on the touch-sensitive display, a user interface that includes a user interface element, which occupies part of the user interface and is selectable for resizing, and detecting, on the touch-sensitive display, a pinch gesture for resizing the user interface element within the user interface. The method may further comprise: determining a direction of the pinch gesture; and based on the direction of the pinch gesture, resizing the user interface element horizontally, vertically or diagonally within the user interface.
