Automatic management of secure connections

A system comprising:

• a memory;
• a computer processor coupled to the memory;
• instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor, the instructions comprising:
• a notification service configured to perform operations comprising:
• engage, with a cloud connector at a request of the cloud connector, in a secure connection establishment procedure to establish a secure connection with the cloud connector;
• receive, from a connectivity agent, a request to establish a second secure connection between the connectivity agent and the cloud connector;
• and
• forward the request to the cloud connector;
• and
• the connectivity agent configured to perform operations comprising:
• receive, from a program, information to forward to an entity coupled to the cloud connector;
• identify whether the second secure connection exists between the connectivity agent and the cloud connector;
• when the second secure connection exists, send the information to the cloud connector over the second secure connection;
• and
• when the second secure connection does not exist:
• create a third request to establish the second secure connection between the connectivity agent and the cloud connector;
• forward the request to the notification service;
• engage in a second secure connection establishment procedure at the request of the cloud connector in order to establish the second secure connection between the connectivity agent and the cloud connector;
• and
• send the information to the cloud connector over the second secure connection.
