Comparative Study of OpenNebula, CloudStack, Eucalyptus and OpenStack
Subscribe/Renew Journal
Over the last few years, many open source Cloud Management Platforms (CMPs) have come into existence. Developers, Cloud Providers and Consumers need to resolute to a cloud platform which best suits their needs. OpenNebula, CloudStack, Eucalyptus and OpenStack are among the major players that commercially provide a cloud management platform. Having several options to choose from, it can become difficult for new businesses to select a platform which caters to all their needs. However, the market has room for several open source cloud platforms that perform different tasks and finally fit together into an extensive cloud ecosystem. Some existing literatures only compare the basic features of these platforms. The main goal of this paper is to provide a practical reference to help businesses understand the features being provided by the above-mentioned Cloud Management Platforms and assist them in making a selection of a CMP that best suits their requirements. All of these platforms provide Infrastructure as a Service.
