Abstract
Some embodiments provide a method for providing access in a scalable manner to resources in a first datacenter to clients operating in one or more public clouds. The method of some embodiments implements with multiple machines a public-cloud proxy to connect clients in the public cloud(s) to a reverse proxy in the first datacenter. For instance, in response to a request to access a first resource in the first datacenter from a first client executing outside of the first datacenter, the method: (1) assigns a first proxy-implementing machine operating outside of the first datacenter to establish a first connection with the first client, (2) assigns a second proxy-implementing machine operating outside of the first datacenter to establish a second connection with the reverse proxy that operates in the first datacenter and that provides access to the first resource, and (3) establishes a third connection between the first and second proxy-implementing machines to forward messages between the first client and the reverse proxy through the first, second, and third connections.
