Systems and methods for remote management of software on private networks are generally described. In various examples, a cluster of compute instances are deployed by a cloud compute service provider. A first compute pod may be deployed among the cluster of compute instances. The first compute pod may be configured to execute a secure shell daemon (SSHD) network proxy. The first compute pod may be configured to open ports to allow access to the cluster of compute instances by an authorized administrative user. In some examples, a connection may be established between a first computing device executing a secure shell (SSH) process and the SSHD network proxy of the first compute pod. Data may be sent from the first computing device to at least one compute instance of the cluster of compute instances using the connection.
