One example would be to use “interconnects” which link your data center to the cloud through a high capacity (maybe low latency?) “dedicated” line. So basically you have private IP connectivity between your DC and a virtual private cloud (VPC) so your workloads “think” they’re on the same private IP network. I thought of interconnects as beefy VPNs (but this may not be accurate, just a helpful mental aid).
