Abstract

The disclosed computer-implemented method for managing devices may include (i) intercepting outbound network traffic that is directed to an original target network destination, and (ii) redirecting the outbound network traffic to a virtual computing node within a publicly available on-demand cloud computing platform for the virtual computing node to apply a management policy to the outbound network traffic prior to the outbound network traffic arriving at the original target network destination, where a management service directs the performance of both configuring the computing device to redirect the outbound network traffic to the virtual computing node within the publicly available on-demand cloud computing platform and configuring the virtual computing node within the publicly available on-demand cloud computing platform to apply the management policy. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
