Before the AMI can be used on premise, it must be converted to an EMI:
AMI--->EMI before using on premise.

Eucalyptus has support for EC2 instances, EBS, S3, and IAM.  It also has API compatibility.  They just announced support for ELB, Auto Scaling, and CloudWatch.

They are an AWS partner:https://aws.amazon.com/solution-providers/isv/eucalyptus
