1. A method for controlling a gateway to facilitate communications between a public cloud and a private cloud in a hybrid cloud, the gateway configured to generate a plurality of cloud adapters using a cloud adapter software development kit (SDK), the method comprising:

  • generating, using the cloud adapter SDK with proprietary cloud orchestration code of a platform of the public cloud, a specific cloud adapter tailored to work exclusively with a specific public cloud platform of the public cloud;

    receiving a hybrid cloud instruction from a hybrid cloud application executing in the private cloud;

    interpreting, using the specific cloud adapter generated via the cloud adapter SDK, the hybrid cloud instruction according to a hybrid cloud application programming interface (API) to yield an interpreted hybrid cloud instruction;

    receiving a management instruction from a public cloud management portal associated with the public cloud;

    interpreting the management instruction according to a cloud management API to yield an interpreted management instruction; and

    executing the interpreted hybrid cloud instruction and the interpreted management instruction in the public cloud using the specific cloud adapter.
