The automatic provisioning of a connection between a public cloud and an on-premises resource in a private network. This allows a connection to be more easily made when an application in the public cloud is to access that on-premises resource in the private network. The automatic provisioning is initiated upon determining that an application running in the public cloud is to access the on-premises resource. The provisioning occurs by identifying a bridging infrastructure that provides access to the on-premises resource. Credentials are then accessed for later use in connecting to the bridging infrastructure. Application-specific credentials are securely provided to the application. The application-specific credentials are usable by an agent on the public cloud to connect to the identified bridging infrastructure. A configuration packages is then created that includes resource-specific credentials, the identity of the on-premises resource and an executable.
