You can interact with OpenNebula using the different interfaces
exposed on top of OpenNebula:
* Cloud Interfaces, the OpenNebula distribution includes servers in
order to interact with OpenNebula using the OCCI [1] and EC2 [2] APIs.
FYI the last version of the OCCI interface is being developed in a
ecosystem project [3]
* More information [4]

OpenNebula can interact with external cloud providers in order to
combine local resources with resources from external clouds [5]. The
OpenNebula distribution includes a driver in order to add EC2 hosts
for cloudbursting [6]. You can find the implementation of this driver
inside the "src/vmm_mad/ec2" folder.

More information about how to develop a driver to interact with
external providers can be found in the following link [7]

Hope this helps, if you have any doubts do not hesitate to ask in the list.
