Automatic application scaling between private and public cloud platforms

A method, comprising:

• receiving traffic telemetry generating based on at least one monitored performance criterion associated with execution of a first instance of an application by a non-public-network-accessible server set;
• receiving requests associated with the application from computing devices over a public communication channel;
• and
• receiving traffic telemetry and a request via a traffic manager, wherein the traffic manager is configured to:
• based on demand indicated by the traffic telemetry, route the request to the first instance of the application on the non-public-network-accessible server;
• and
• based on demand indicated by the traffic telemetry, instantiate a second instance of the application at the public-network-accessible server set, wherein the traffic manager is configured to automatically scale a number of instances of the application at the public-network-accessible server set based at least in part on the traffic telemetry.

A computer program product comprising a computer-readable memory device having computer program logic recorded thereon that when executed by at least one processor of a computing device causes the at least one processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:

• receiving traffic telemetry generating based on at least one monitored performance criterion associated with execution of a first instance of an application by a non-public-network-accessible server set;
• receiving requests associated with the application from computing devices over a public communication channel;
• and
• receiving traffic telemetry and a request via a traffic manager, wherein the traffic manager is configured to:
• based on demand indicated by the traffic telemetry, route the request to the first instance of the application on the non-public-network-accessible server;
• and
• based on demand indicated by the traffic telemetry, instantiate a second instance of the application at the public-network-accessible server set, wherein the traffic manager is configured to automatically scale a number of instances of the application at the public-network-accessible server set based at least in part on the traffic telemetry.
