Bridging clouds

A computing device comprising:

• a memory containing machine-readable medium comprising machine executable code having stored thereon instructions for performing a method of exchanging data across different cloud service providers;
• and
• a processor coupled to the memory, the processor configured to execute the machine executable code to cause the processor to:
• create, by a storage device, a first virtual local area network (VLAN) and a second VLAN;
• route, by the storage device using a first virtual routing table (VRT) associated with the first VLAN and a first tenant in the first VLAN, a first Internet Protocol (IP) message between the first tenant and a first cloud service provider, wherein the first cloud service provider is identified as a neighbor in the first VRT, and the first IP message includes a first header indicating in a protocol level different than IP that the first cloud service provider is to receive the first IP message;
• and
• route, by the storage device using a second VRT associated with the second VLAN and a second tenant in the second VLAN, a second Internet Protocol (IP) message between the second tenant and a second cloud service provider, the second IP message including a second header indicating in the protocol level different than IP that the second cloud service provider is to receive the second IP message, wherein the first cloud service provider and the second cloud service provider have an overlapping IP address range, and wherein the first IP message and the second IP message are directed to the overlapping IP address range at the first cloud service provider and the second cloud service provider.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium having stored thereon instructions for performing a method comprising machine executable code which when executed by at least one machine, causes the at least one machine to:

• create, by a storage device, a first virtual local area network (VLAN) and a second VLAN;
• route, by the storage device using a first virtual routing table (VRT) associated with the first VLAN and a first tenant in the first VLAN, a first Internet Protocol (IP) message between the first tenant and a first cloud service provider, wherein the first cloud service provider is identified as a neighbor in the first VRT, and the first IP message includes a first header indicating in a protocol level different than IP that the first cloud service provider is to receive the first IP message;
• and
• route, by the storage device using a second VRT associated with the second VLAN and a second tenant in the second VLAN, a second Internet Protocol (IP) message between the second tenant and a second cloud service provider, the second IP message including a second header indicating in the protocol level different than IP that the second cloud service provider is to receive the second IP message, wherein the first cloud service provider and the second cloud service provider have an overlapping IP address range, and wherein the first IP message and the second IP message are directed to the overlapping IP address range at the first cloud service provider and the second cloud service provider.
