In this paper, we present a survey, which would be beneficial to anybody considering private or hybrid cloud solution implementation or implementing custom scheduling optimization algorithm on popular cloud computing platforms. The cloud computing platform can be deployed as a private cloud on-premises or in dedicated data centre space, as a public service or as a combination of both. In this survey, we review similarities and differences of most popular private cloud implementation platforms and their compatibility with public cloud solutions. The survey reveales the prevalence of resource scheduling and service deployment algorithms within some popular open-source clouds.
