Configuring and managing VPN connections in the cloud

“

- [Instructor] Let's briefly look at the specific steps to set up VPN as related to cloud networking. Choose a VPN solution compatible with your cloud provider, meaning that we're normally looking for either the VPN that your cloud provider provides, or one that has been verified to work with your provider. Set up a VPN gateway or instance within your cloud environment, depending on the steps needed by your specific VPN solution. Configure the VPN settings. This normally includes authentication, encryption, and tunneling protocols. Establish connectivity between the cloud VPN and your specific on-premise network of client devices. This should provide a secure connection. Finally, test and validate the VPN connection to ensure secure and reliable communications. This ensures that everything is working as planned. These steps can vary based on the specific cloud provider and VPN solution. Again, this is a general overview of the configuration process.
