This is really interesting, I found a similar problem when trying Hybrid Fox and Deltalcloud through our EC2 implementation, long time ago. Concerning the CreateSecurityGroup call, you could implement it in the same way it's done in appflow/appstage to store services; using the Document Pool provided by OpenNebula. You just have to implement a new class that inherits from Document/DocumentJSON and specified a custom Document type: module OpenNebula class SecurityGroup < DocumentJSON DOCUMENT_TYPE = 200 module OpenNebula class SecurityGroupPool < DocumentPoolJSON DOCUMENT_TYPE = 200 You can interact with this pool in the same way as any other OpenNebula pool (info, chown, acls ...) and store any information you need. Before creating a new instance through ec2 you can create/retrieve the target security group and include the required information in the vm template. Hope this helps.
