1 # Interoperability with public clouds #
13 Currently OSM can deploy VNFs in sites controlled by VIMs of the following
14 types: Openstack, Openvim and VMware vCloud Director. In practice, this is
15 forcing the user to have access to a VIM of one of those types, which might not
16 be simple for a general user that just wants to test OSM.
18 Being able to interact with public clouds such as AWS and Google Cloud would
19 allow a general user to test OSM without the need to deploy a VIM. Moreover,
20 those public clouds could be part of multi-site deployments in production.
22 In practice, this feature would require interacting with AWS APIs and Google
23 Cloud APIs as a minimum, in a similar way as it is done with other VIMs.
