Description

Currently OSM can deploy VNFs in sites controlled by VIMs of the following types: Openstack, Openvim and VMware vCloud Director. In practice, this is forcing the user to have access to a VIM of one of those types, which might not be simple for a general user that just wants to test OSM.

Being able to interact with public clouds such as AWS and Google Cloud would allow a general user to test OSM without the need to deploy a VIM. Moreover, those public clouds could be part of multi-site deployments in production.

In practice, this feature would require interacting with AWS APIs and Google Cloud APIs as a minimum, in a similar way as it is done with other VIMs.
