What I know of cloud services and implementations is really limited. Mostly in what I have had to be somewhat competent in making a opinion for work.
Amazon has EC2 and storage via S3. This is for all I know a closed source system probably utilizing some OSS components. There is Eucalyptus, and their API cloning of Amazons EC2 and such. But not all of it is open sourced. Then there is Openstack used by NASA and Rackspace due to each having issues with Eucalyptus. Openstack is AFAIK the only fully open source cloud offering. They are even treating it like the LAMP stack such that you can substitute any piece out and it should continue to work. Just as people move away from MySQL for postgres or some other DB, and PHP/Perl/Ruby/Python/etc... as the language. The Openstack people are building the tools such that each piece does it's job and is not dependent on another specific part, but rather a service being offered.
