On the use of the Hybrid Cloud Computing Paradigm

This chapter analyzes the Hybrid Cloud computing model, a paradigm that combines on-premise Private Clouds with the resources of Public Clouds. This new model is not yet fully developed, and there is still a lot of work to be done before true multi-Cloud installations become mature enough to be used in production environments. A review of some of its limitations and the challenges that have to be faced is done in this chapter, and some common techniques to address the challenges studied are also included. It also presents a Hybrid Cloud architecture based on the OpenNebula Cloud toolkit, trying to overcome some of the challenges, and present some real-life experiences with this proposed architecture and Amazon EC2.
