Identity federation in OpenStack - an introduction to hybrid clouds
Marek Denis, José Castro León, Emmanuel Ormancey, Paolo Tedesco · Journal of Physics Conference Series · 2015
We are evaluating cloud identity federation available in the OpenStack ecosystem that allows for on premise bursting into remote clouds with use of local identities (i.e. domain accounts). Further enhancements to identity federation are a clear way to hybrid cloud architectures - virtualized infrastructures layered across independent private and public clouds.
