I want to create a hybrid cloud for demo purpose using the public cloud as AWS EC2 instance and the private cloud as Openstack instance which is present on my local network. Can anyone give me an idea about where to begin. If i am successful, should I be able to ping the private IP address of EC2 instance from my Openstack's instance?
