Embodiments of the present solution provide a cloud bridge to bring network transparency between the otherwise disparate networks of the datacenter and cloud service provider. For example, appliances may be deployed in the datacenter and on the edge of the cloud. These appliances may be configured or designed and constructed to communicate with each other and recognize and understand the local IP and/or public IP network information of the on-premise datacenter of the enterprise and the cloud datacenter. These appliances may manage the flow of network traffic between the on-premise and cloud datacenters in a manner to appear and act seamlessly and transparently as a single network spanning both the on-premise and cloud data centers.
