In regards to your last comment, that "it would be great for tenants
to be able to setup connections into AWS", HP CSA comes close to doing
that:

It's not *exactly* what you're looking for, you wouldn't be using the
OpenStack API. But it's as close as you can get right now.

IMHO, HP's OpenStack and it's integration with HP's automation tools
has made giant strides in the last year.
