I'm always a bit disappointed when someone asks me about hybridation 
with OpenStack.
OpenStack is not a Cloud Management Platform, that can manage severeal 
Clouds, private and public... Like RedHat Cloudforms / ManageIQ.

At least, being able to manage two OpenStack instances, one private and 
one from a public Cloud with OpenStack API will be great.

I found a project by Huawei to cascade Openstack instances :

I really would like to see that becoming reality.

Perhaps It can be a solution to your scenarii ?
