1. A method comprising:
receiving a tag associating at least one routing domain in an on-premises site with at least one virtual network in a cloud environment associated with a cloud service provider (CSP);
automatically configuring a virtual cross connect (VXC) on a software-defined wide-area network (SDWAN) router associated with a software-defined cloud infrastructure (SDCI) provider, the VXC connecting the on-premises site to the cloud environment associated with the CSP;
connecting a connectivity gateway in the cloud environment associated with the CSP to the at least one virtual network in the cloud environment;
tagging the at least one virtual network with the tag; and
configuring a connection between the at least one routing domain in the on-premises site and the at least one virtual network in the cloud environment, wherein the connection is based at least in part on the tag.
