Efficient creation of endpoints for accessing services directly within a cloud-based system

Abstract

Described is a system (and method) that provides the ability to create an endpoint to allow cloud-based components to access services directly using network infrastructure of a cloud system. To provide such an ability, access connections from components of a production system to the cloud system may be monitored to derive a storage service and a datastore based on portions of a domain name. The derived storage service and datastore are then used to determine configuration settings required to automatically create a service endpoint. The service endpoint may then be deployed within the cloud system allowing the cloud-based component to access the storage service directly. Accordingly, the system provides the ability to automatically configure and deploy service endpoints by leveraging information derived from monitoring network access connections between a production environment and a cloud environment.
