Yeah, that jumped out for me too. I'm guessing that they didn't want to deploy some sort of private network layer.

That's easier said then done. There are no simple cross cloud provider solutions for a private networking other then ZeroTier, which has it's own issues.
Last time I was able to build Azure <-> AWS and GCP <-> AWS use their VPN tunneling and a strongswan server on AWS.

It's only AZure <-> AWS <-> GCP, Azure <-> GCP I didn't try bcuz we just want to connect to central AWS node.

I think IPSec with the "right" config is good enough. But the pain is managing the route tables :(.

As a hobbyist, I might use tinc or PeerVPN. Or Tor plus OnionCat, with restrictive ip6tables rules. I've used that for a private Docker repository.

But those are probably not secure enough. Or too much hassle to setup.
