OpenStack Omni 

The next major contender in the space is OpenStack. Now, OpenStack is the most highly adopted service down cloud, and powers several public and private clouds out there, so it is only natural that this becomes a candidate for the hybrid cloud. 

While OpenStack, by default, includes the required systems to create an OpenStack-only hybrid cloud (the private cloud can simply be added as a new region in the Horizon dashboard), it still doesn't work with other clouds. 

So, if we were to have our private cloud based on OpenStack, and the public based on AWS, this would not have been possible without a third-party CMP (as we saw in Chapter 6, Building a Traditional CMP-Based Hybrid Cloud). In order to bridge this gap, Platform9 (http://www.platform9.com) has created a new project under the OpenStack "big-tent" governance model (https://www.openstack.org/videos/vancouver-2015/the-big-tent-a-look-at-the-new-openstack-projects-governance) called Omni.
