A direct cloud access (DCA) computing system for enabling access by a developer computing device hosted on a development network to a plurality of production networks hosted on a cloud services platform is provided. The DCA system includes a development private network interface to a private network, and a production private network interface to the private network. The DCA system further includes a plurality of DCA computing devices each coupled to a respective one of the plurality of production networks. Each DCA is programmed to establish a first VPN connection with a developer computing device on the development network via the private network, receive a client VPN packet addressed to the first DCA network address, and transmit the packet to the production computing device based on a resource address.
