Establishing cross-vendor secure connectivity in a shared computing environment

A computer program product comprising:

• a computer readable storage medium readable by one or more processors and storing instructions for execution by the one or more processors for performing a method comprising:
• receiving, by one or more processors of a first computing system, configuration instructions in a generic format;
• translating, by the one or more processors, the configuration instructions into a first set of gateway configuration commands, wherein the first set of gateway configuration commands is in a format compatible with a first gateway of the first computing system;
• executing, by the one or more processors, the first set of gateway configuration commands, to configure the first gateway in accordance with the configuration instructions;
• transmitting, by the one or more processors, via a communication protocol, the configuration instructions, to one or more programs of a second computing systems, wherein based on receiving the configuration instructions, the one or more programs translate the configuration instructions into a second set of gateway configuration commands, wherein the second set of gateway configuration commands is in a format compatible with the second gateway, and execute the second set of gateway configuration commands to configure the second gateway in accordance with the configuration instructions;
• and
• establishing, by the one or more processors, a direct communications connection between the first gateway and the second gateway, based on a configuration of the first gateway matching a configuration of the second gateway.

A device comprising:

• a memory;
• one or more processors in communication with the memory;
• program instructions executable by the one or more processors via the memory to perform a method, the method comprising:
• receiving, by one or more processors of a first computing system, configuration instructions in a generic format;
• translating, by the one or more processors, the configuration instructions into a first set of gateway configuration commands, wherein the first set of gateway configuration commands is in a format compatible with a first gateway of the first computing system;
• executing, by the one or more processors, the first set of gateway configuration commands, to configure the first gateway in accordance with the configuration instructions;
• transmitting, by the one or more processors, via a communication protocol, the configuration instructions, to one or more programs of a second computing systems, wherein based on receiving the configuration instructions, the one or more programs translate the configuration instructions into a second set of gateway configuration commands, wherein the second set of gateway configuration commands is in a format compatible with the second gateway, and execute the second set of gateway configuration commands to configure the second gateway in accordance with the configuration instructions;
• and
• establishing, by the one or more processors, a direct communications connection between the first gateway and the second gateway, based on a configuration of the first gateway matching a configuration of the second gateway.
