Also, save for QA / Testing / Performance benchmarking, I just don’t see a strong case for these hybrid clouds especially if it involves the transportation of sensitive customer data.

More of a strong business case is supporting internal clouds, wherein cloud infrastructure is used to make data available to more groups within an organization, without having to resort to expensive development and integration efforts. Some of the work being done by the Cloud Interoperability Forum seems to make some headway or at least raising the larger issues.

Moving images between corporate data centers and Amazon means they would support either VMWare, Xen or/and LVM images, as well as the AWS api, but I do not see any mention on their site.

Rules based deployments and scaling isnt a big deal, there are already people doing that such as RightScale. The compliance based feature is nice but not a big deal for any of the other providers to add the feature to their settings.

I am missing something here?
