Dedicated secure entry points for accessing target resources

A method, comprising:

• identifying a first secure entry point for accessing a first target resource of a virtual cloud network, the first secure entry point not being addressable by computing entities outside of the virtual cloud network;
• determining a first mapping that maps the first secure entry point to a first addressable network entity of a plurality of addressable network entities that are addressable by the computing entities outside of the virtual cloud network;
• based on the first mapping, selecting the first addressable network entity as a first destination for a first set of one or more requests associated with the first target resource;
• transmitting to a first computing entity a first network address corresponding to the first addressable network entity as a first destination address for the first set of one or more requests associated with the first target resource;
• wherein the first computing entity transmits the first set of one or more requests associated with the first target resource to the first network address corresponding to the first addressable network entity, and wherein the first addressable network entity forwards the first set of one or more requests associated with the first target resource to the first secure entry point;
• wherein the method is performed by at least one device including a hardware processor.

A system, comprising:

• at least one hardware processor;
• wherein the system is configured to execute operations, using the at least one hardware processor, the operations comprising:
• identifying a first secure entry point for accessing a first target resource of a virtual cloud network, the first secure entry point not being addressable by computing entities outside of the virtual cloud network;
• determining a first mapping that maps the first secure entry point to a first addressable network entity of a plurality of addressable network entities that are addressable by the computing entities outside of the virtual cloud network;
• based on the first mapping, selecting the first addressable network entity as a first destination for a first set of one or more requests associated with the first target resource;
• transmitting to a first computing entity a first network address corresponding to the first addressable network entity as a first destination address for the first set of one or more requests associated with the first target resource;
• wherein the first computing entity transmits the first set of one or more requests associated with the first target resource to the first network address corresponding to the first addressable network entity, and wherein the first addressable network entity forwards the first set of one or more requests associated with the first target resource to the first secure entry point.
