What it does

Hybrid Cloud Networking is an agent skill from wshobson/agents. Configure secure, high-performance connectivity between on-premises infrastructure and cloud platforms using VPN and dedicated connections. Use when building hybrid cloud architectures, connecting data centers to cloud, or implementing secure cross-premises networking.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/direct-connect.md`).

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Cloud networking and Cloud architecture. It works with Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure. The repository describes itself as: Multi-harness agentic plugin marketplace for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, GitHub Copilot, Google Antigravity, and Pi. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Building hybrid cloud architectures
  • Connecting data centers to cloud
  • Implementing secure cross-premises networking

Example prompts

  • “/hybrid-cloud-networking”

Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Site-to-Site VPN
  2. AWS Direct Connect
  3. Site-to-Site VPN
  4. Azure ExpressRoute
  5. Cloud VPN
  6. Cloud Interconnect
  7. IPSec VPN Connect
  8. OCI FastConnect

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 46891e7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • aws
    • az

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use aws and az, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Hybrid Cloud Networking loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 73 tokens; SKILL.md has 410 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~73
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.7k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Configure secure, high-performance connectivity between on-premises infrastructure and cloud platforms using VPN and dedicated connections. Use when building hybrid cloud architectures, connecting data centers to cloud, or implementing secure cross-premises networking.

Hybrid Cloud Networking

Configure secure, high-performance connectivity between on-premises and cloud environments using VPN, Direct Connect, ExpressRoute, Interconnect, and FastConnect.

Purpose

Establish secure, reliable network connectivity between on-premises data centers and cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI).

When to Use

  • Connect on-premises to cloud
  • Extend datacenter to cloud
  • Implement hybrid active-active setups
  • Meet compliance requirements
  • Migrate to cloud gradually

Connection Options

AWS Connectivity
1. Site-to-Site VPN
  • IPSec VPN over internet
  • Up to 1.25 Gbps per tunnel
  • Cost-effective for moderate bandwidth
  • Higher latency, internet-dependent
hcl
resource "aws_vpn_gateway" "main" {
  vpc_id = aws_vpc.main.id
  tags = {
    Name = "main-vpn-gateway"
  }
}

resource "aws_customer_gateway" "main" {
  bgp_asn    = 65000
  ip_address = "203.0.113.1"
  type       = "ipsec.1"
}

resource "aws_vpn_connection" "main" {
  vpn_gateway_id      = aws_vpn_gateway.main.id
  customer_gateway_id = aws_customer_gateway.main.id
  type                = "ipsec.1"
  static_routes_only  = false
}
2. AWS Direct Connect
  • Dedicated network connection
  • 1 Gbps to 100 Gbps
  • Lower latency, consistent bandwidth
  • More expensive, setup time required

Reference: See references/direct-connect.md

Azure Connectivity
1. Site-to-Site VPN
hcl
resource "azurerm_virtual_network_gateway" "vpn" {
  name                = "vpn-gateway"
  location            = azurerm_resource_group.main.location
  resource_group_name = azurerm_resource_group.main.name

  type     = "Vpn"
  vpn_type = "RouteBased"
  sku      = "VpnGw1"

  ip_configuration {
    name                          = "vnetGatewayConfig"
    public_ip_address_id          = azurerm_public_ip.vpn.id
    private_ip_address_allocation = "Dynamic"
    subnet_id                     = azurerm_subnet.gateway.id
  }
}
2. Azure ExpressRoute
  • Private connection via connectivity provider
  • Up to 100 Gbps
  • Low latency, high reliability
  • Premium for global connectivity
GCP Connectivity
1. Cloud VPN
  • IPSec VPN (Classic or HA VPN)
  • HA VPN: 99.99% SLA
  • Up to 3 Gbps per tunnel
2. Cloud Interconnect
  • Dedicated (10 Gbps, 100 Gbps)
  • Partner (50 Mbps to 50 Gbps)
  • Lower latency than VPN
OCI Connectivity
1. IPSec VPN Connect
  • IPSec VPN with redundant tunnels
  • Dynamic routing through DRG
  • Good fit for branch offices and migration phases
2. OCI FastConnect
  • Private dedicated connectivity through Oracle or partner edge
  • Suitable for predictable throughput and lower-latency hybrid traffic
  • Commonly paired with DRG for hub-and-spoke designs

Show full SKILL.md (172 more words)Show less
Route Propagation
  • Enable route propagation on route tables
  • Use BGP for dynamic routing
  • Implement route filtering
  • Monitor route advertisements

Security Best Practices

  1. Use private connectivity (Direct Connect/ExpressRoute/Interconnect/FastConnect)
  2. Implement encryption for VPN tunnels
  3. Use VPC endpoints to avoid internet routing
  4. Configure network ACLs and security groups
  5. Enable VPC Flow Logs for monitoring
  6. Implement DDoS protection
  7. Use PrivateLink/Private Endpoints
  8. Monitor connections with CloudWatch/Azure Monitor/Cloud Monitoring/OCI Monitoring
  9. Implement redundancy (dual tunnels)
  10. Regular security audits

High Availability

Dual VPN Tunnels
hcl
resource "aws_vpn_connection" "primary" {
  vpn_gateway_id      = aws_vpn_gateway.main.id
  customer_gateway_id = aws_customer_gateway.primary.id
  type                = "ipsec.1"
}

resource "aws_vpn_connection" "secondary" {
  vpn_gateway_id      = aws_vpn_gateway.main.id
  customer_gateway_id = aws_customer_gateway.secondary.id
  type                = "ipsec.1"
}
Active-Active Configuration
  • Multiple connections from different locations
  • BGP for automatic failover
  • Equal-cost multi-path (ECMP) routing
  • Monitor health of all connections

Monitoring and Troubleshooting

Key Metrics
  • Tunnel status (up/down)
  • Bytes in/out
  • Packet loss
  • Latency
  • BGP session status
Troubleshooting
bash
# AWS VPN
aws ec2 describe-vpn-connections
aws ec2 get-vpn-connection-telemetry

# Azure VPN
az network vpn-connection show
az network vpn-connection show-device-config-script

# OCI IPSec VPN
oci network ip-sec-connection list
oci network cpe list

Cost Optimization

  1. Right-size connections based on traffic
  2. Use VPN for low-bandwidth workloads
  3. Consolidate traffic through fewer connections
  4. Minimize data transfer costs
