End-to-end path selection using dynamic software-defined cloud interconnect (SDCI) tunnels

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• receiving, at a cloud service, a request for a first end-to-end path between client device and a destination device, wherein the end-to-end path is at least partially established using a software-defined cloud interconnect (SDCI);
• identifying performance data indicating performance metrics of one or more paths between one or more points of presence (POP) of the SDCI;
• calculating, at the cloud service, the first end-to-end path between the client device and destination device based at least in part on the performance metrics associated with the first end-to-end path of the one or more paths being more optimal than the performance metrics associated with one or more second end-to-end paths of the one or more paths;
• and
• providing, by the cloud service, an indication of the path to at least one device associated with the first end-to-end path.

• and
• causing data from the client device to be communicated to the destination device using the first end-to-end path.
