摘要：Cloud computing has been emerging as one of the prominent technologies to the end users which offers pay-asyou-go model with the help of various underlying technologies. One of such technologies is virtualization thatforms the foundation for Cloud environment. Virtualization makes it possible to run multiple computingresources (in form of Virtual Machines - VMs) on the same (physical) server at same time, concurrently.Hypervisors, also known as Virtual Machine Monitors (VMM), create, manage and run virtual machines onphysical machines. There are many open source hypervisors available viz. KVM, Xen, OpenVZ, VirtualBox,Lguest, LXD etc. In addition, there are many Cloud-computing software platforms available that manage theprovisioning of VMs for the Cloud provider. Compatibility issues of these VMM and Cloud architectures arerequired to be handled for smooth functioning of the Cloud. This research aims to compare and analyze themost frequently used open source hypervisors and cloud architectures, and it would be useful to noviceresearchers who intend to plunge into the field of Cloud computing with an aim to use open source options forimplementation of their Cloud setup.
