A Hybrid Cloud is an extension of a Private Cloud to combine local resources with resources from one or several remote Cloud providers. The remote provider could be a commercial Cloud service or a partner private infrastructure running a different OpenNebula instance. Hybrid Cloud computing functionality enables the building of cloudbursting and cloud federation scenarios.
OpenNebula provides support for building Hybrid Clouds with Amazon EC2 and ElasticHost, and with this new adaptor in the ecosystem, OpenNebula leverages RedHat Deltacloud to access any major public cloud, such as GoGrid, Rackspace, Terremark or RimuHosting and Private clouds running OpenNebula or RHEV-M.

A single OpenNebula management instance can be used to combine local infrastructure with multiple remote clouds, so building a highly scalable hosting environments.
