I do want to (but am not doing). When I worked at a public cloud based
on openstack we certainly wanted this kind of functionality, mostly
between openstack regions. Likely so would telecoms, hence the
tricircle link that was sent. But I left before we really got into it
so I'm not sure what's happened there, or what has or is happening in
openstack-land.

I would also think it would be great for tenants to be able to setup
connections into AWS, and even start up AWS instances via the
openstack API. :)

Thanks,
Curtis.
