Bi-directional data sharing between private and public clouds

A system comprising:

• one or more hardware processors of a machine;
• and
• at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more hardware processors, cause the system to perform operations comprising:
• establishing a trust relationship between a private cloud deployment of a data provider and a public cloud deployment of a data consumer;
• generating a cross-region group sharing token to facilitate secure communication between the private cloud deployment and the public cloud deployment;
• validating, by at least one hardware processor, the cross-region group sharing token to confirm an identity of the data provider and the data consumer;
• disabling a firewall policy that restricts data traffic between the private cloud deployment and the public cloud deployment based on the established trust relationship;
• replicating a target database from the private cloud deployment of the data provider to a secure share area accessible by the public cloud deployment of the data consumer;
• enabling the data consumer to at least access the replicated target database within the secure share area;
• and
• managing synchronization of the replicated target database with the target database of the data provider to maintain data consistency across the private cloud deployment and the public cloud deployment.
