Cloud Connections
Cloud connections serve as distinct channels for cloud configurations. A single cloud configuration can encompass multiple cloud connections. This flexibility allows for various origin and destination pairings within a cloud configuration. A single cloud configuration may have zero or multiple cloud connections. See Cloud Network Extension for more information.
