Zusammenfassung:	A method, apparatus and computer program product manage a plurality of VPN tunnels between a first cloud and a second cloud in a hybrid cloud environment. A method in a first VPN agent manages a first VPN tunnel in a plurality of VPN tunnels between a first cloud and a second cloud in a hybrid cloud environment. The VPN agent receives a request from a VPN manager. The request includes a first set of requirements for the first VPN tunnel in the plurality of VPN tunnels. The VPN agent creates the first VPN tunnel according to the first set of requirements. The VPN agent tunes the first VPN tunnel according to a second set of requirements. The tuning of the first VPN tunnel can include merging the first VPN tunnel with a second VPN tunnel, or splitting the first VPN tunnel into a first and second VPN tunnel.
