Abstract
Techniques for intelligently managing a virtual private network (VPN) gateway in a cloud computing system are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, an instance of a VPN gateway can query whether a logic lock on a network address is maintained by another instance via periodic renewal. In response to receiving a query result indicating that a logic lock on the network address is lost by the another instance, the instance can migrate a VPN connection originally handled by the another instance from the another instance to the instance such that a private network is connected to the instance via the migrated VPN connection to reduce downtime for accessing computing resources in the cloud computing system.
