Abstract: A method of exchanging messages between a software-defined data center (SDDC) and a cloud platform through a plurality of agents deployed on an agent platform appliance that is connected to a management network of the SDDC, to enable the cloud platform to deliver cloud services to the SDDC, includes the steps of: acquiring an access token from a first agent of the plurality of agents; communicating with a message broker cloud service using the access token to exchange messages with the message broker cloud service, the exchanged messages including a first message from one of the cloud services to one or more of the plurality of agents and a second message from a second agent of the plurality of agents to one of the cloud services; and delivering the first message to the one or more agents.
