Cloud computing is a service-oriented architecture that offers a high level of flexibility and on-demand self-service, powered by existing technologies like virtualization and the internet. Open source software (OSS) is a type of computer software in which the source code is made publicly available under a license that allows users to review, modify, and distribute [1]. Open Source Cloud Computing is, therefore, any cloud solution developed with open-source software. This paper examines current trends in cloud computing and open-source software and serves as a road map for future research. This research aims to provide a detailed overview of the two open cloud computing solutions, Xen Cloud Platform (XCP) and OpenStack
