OpenNebula gives you the flexibility to adapt your datacenter to meet
these requirements. Currently the OpenNebula distribution includes
drivers to interact with EC2 clouds in a hybrid cloud scenario but
this set of drivers can be easily extended.

You are right, the current version of this driver is not updated to
interact with OpenNebula 3.x, but it should not be difficult to update
it to the last version. We have just updated the EC2 driver adding new
functionality such as security groups, vpcs, tags... [1] The new
deltacloud driver could be based on this driver, you can take a look
to the one_vmm_ec2.rb file [2].

If you are interested on updating the deltacloud driver we could
provide feedback on this process

Cheers
