Amazon Web Services has teamed up with private cloud infrastructure provider Eucalyptus in a move that could enable the deployment of hybrid clouds. Hybrid clouds are a combination of internal private clouds and external public clouds. Under the agreement, AWS will support the integration of private cloud deployments on open source Eucalyptus with AWS compute and storage services using AWS’ application programming interfaces. Customers of Eucalyptus can use their existing infrastructure to create scalable, secure cloud resources that are compatible with AWS.
