Single self-service portal for Azure hybrid cloud

If we extend out datacenter with Azure cloud services to create a hybrid cloud infrastructure, is it possible to perform self-service provisioning and management of infrastructure (like VMs) from a single portal? Basically I would like to be able to provision a VM on demand either to the Azure cloud or my on-premises datacenter from a single portal.

I am aware of Windows Azure Pack, but if I understand correctly, it can only provision VMs on the private cloud, not on the Azure cloud. From what I read, this also holds true for System Center VMM SSP 2.0 (I may be wrong).

Can I use any of the above two for this purpose if I establish ExpressRoute connection between my datacenter and Azure? In case there is no out-of-the-box solution, can anybody point me towards a custom solution to build a single portal to deploy and remove VMs in such a hybrid cloud scenario?

I found this can be done using System Center 2012 SP1 - App Controller and Virtual Machine Manager.

App Controller provides a common self-service experience that can help you easily configure, deploy, and manage virtual machines and services across private and public clouds.

Seems like there is already a feedback for it. Might be under construction :)

Add all Azure services to Azure Pack (https://feedback.azure.com/forums/255259-azure-pack/suggestions/6445143-add-all-azure-services-to-azure-pack)

That’s what we strive towards: a consistent experience! What would you say are the services you are most anxious to see come on-premises first?
