1. A system for providing secure remote access to industrial engineering services, comprising:
a memory that stores executable components; and
a processor, operatively coupled to the memory, that executes the executable components, the executable components comprising:
an image registry configured to store, on a cloud platform, virtual machine images that are configured with respective industrial engineering applications and respective secure remote access runtime services; and
a provisioning component configured to
instantiate a virtual machine image, selected from the multiple virtual machine images, on which an industrial engineering application is installed to yield a virtual machine that executes the industrial engineering application on the cloud platform, and
establish a secure virtual private network connection between a client device and the virtual machine using the secure remote access runtime service.
