OpenNebula should be able to use other OpenNebula cloud: as a hybrid cloud host like for example "Amazon EC2". Use Case: build a hybrid cloud based on OpenNebula spread across different OpenNebula intances WITHOUT a mutual trust relationship as is required for Federation. OpenNebula providers can sell unused capacity easily to 3rd party.

Description

This new feature may provide the possibility of creating a new virtual machine instance in a remote cloud through local OpenNebula cloud.

Use case

You need to create a new VM in a remote Cloud but you want to work with it through OpenNebula.

The users need it when they need create a VM in another Cloud infrastructure.

Interface Changes

You need to include a new driver for manage VMs and Images, also need to add this new managers to oned.conf. For other hand, you need to add new inputs in Sunstone to permit add the remote credentials and endpoint into the local host.
