Abstract
Techniques for utilizing a cloud-side link module and a provider substrate extension (PSE) link module to secure a communications channel between a cloud provider network and a provider substrate extension are described. A PSE link module receives a request originated by a compute instance in the PSE that is destined to a destination within the cloud provider network. The request was encrypted using an encryption scheme that encrypts traffic of a virtual private cloud that the compute instance operates in. The PSE link module decrypts the first request, encrypts it using a separate encryption scheme, and transmits it via a secure tunnel to a second link module in the cloud provider network. The second link module can decrypt the encrypted traffic and cause it to be validated before it is passed on via the cloud provider's substrate network to be processed.
