Bug Description
OpenStack project is so far focused on private cloud management. This proposal together with a set of others for glance, cinder and nova aim to extend OpenStack for side-by-side management of Public cloud.
Enterprises are increasingly looking at hybrid and multi-cloud strategy as next phase of their datacenter environments. Public cloud offers flexible on-demand resource while private cloud gives the ability to run workloads securely. There is lack of standard when it comes to cloud management. These specs propose OpenStack API as the solution. Regardless of infrastructure — public or private and technology — KVM, VMware or Hyper-V cloud workloads can be deployed and managed with standard OpenStack API.
This driver will provide a mechanism to implement neutron networking on top of AWS. As was demoed in the Openstack Barcelona Summit in 2016, following constructs map nicely and work.
-- Creation of tenant networks and all operations
-- Creation of subnet
-- Creation of router to connect external (public) network to tenant network
-- Floating IPs.

Can you provide more context of the use case here? I looked through the driver but didn't quite understand how it would bind ports for instances. Is it just taking an instance and connecting it to a different VPC network with the AWS API?
