• Hybrid Approach- (Public+Private)
• Helps in scaling and migrating gradually to
different clouds or locations
• Suitable for specific enterprises and Cloud
service providers

Identity Federation
Mechanism to establish trust between identity providers and multiple OpenStack clouds
enabling users to access resources across multiple cloud endpoints with a single credential
without having to provision additional identities for each providers.

Templates
• Standalone Heat engine serving as a Orchestration layer in
Federation engine.
• Service Catalogs stored as HOT templates.
• Portability can be achieved through TOSCA compliant
templates.
