Cloud computing is one of the evergreen area where the resources such as data storage, infrastructure, and applications services are provided to the users over the network on demand. Cloud service providers charge users depending upon the space or service provided. So it is not always feasible to hire cloud services every time. Alternate to this, various cloud Infrastructure as a Service frameworks and simulation tools exist in recent years. It is difficult for end-users, developers and researchers to figure out which features and performance of each framework will match their problem statement. This paper analyses some of the most popular open source cloud computing software tools such as Eucalyptus, OpenStack, OpenNebula and CloudStack and also presented its feature comparison which facilitate the researchers and developers in selecting from the different open source cloud platforms.
