 Hi Heat team,

 I am looking for a solution to bridge between OpenStack and EC2. According
 to documents, it seems that Heat has multicloud support but the remote
 cloud(s) must be OpenStack. I wonder if Heat supports multicloud in the
 context of supporting remote EC2 cloud. For example, does Heat support a
 remote stack that contains resources from EC2 cloud? As a result, creating
 a stack will provision local OpenStack resources along with remote EC2
 resources.

 If this feature is not supported, will the dev team accept blueprint
 and/or contributions for that?

 Thanks,
 Hongbin

Hi Hongbin,

We have presented some approaches to this that extend Heat resources to 
talk to native cloud API in EC2 and SoftLayer. Here's the OpenStack Summit 
talk that described what we've done in this space:

It actually doesn't, although it is planned. (We have multi-region 
support, but that implies a shared Keystone for both regions.)

No, and that's not planned either.

along with remote EC2 resources.

I think the most accurate short answer here is no. Of course, I can't 
claim to speak for everyone.


There are some contributions I think we would be willing to accept, 
though. For example, the biggest obstacle to writing AWS plugins is to 
find a way to provide the user's AWS credentials to the plugin securely. 
If we had a solution to the credential problem it would also be helpful 
for multi-cloud in Heat across two OpenStack clouds that lack Keystone 
federation, so I think that would definitely be valuable.


You're definitely not the only ones wanting to drive AWS from Heat, so 
maybe you could set up a separate StackForge project or the like to 
develop a set of AWS plugins.


cheers,
Zane.
