Overview

With a distributed network, CloudPond establishes network connectivity between the edge and the cloud.

• Between the edge and the cloud: The edge AZ where an edge site resides connects to the central AZ on the cloud through two edge gateways and shares the same VPC with the central AZ, so that the edge site can access other cloud services on the cloud over a private network.
• Between an edge and the on-premises system: The edge site connects to the on-premises system through a local gateway so that they can communicate with each other over a private network.

See Networking Requirements for details. Figure 1 shows the CloudPond network connectivity.
