This paper contributes to an analysis of the Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) domain by mapping new insights and discussing the challenges for improving cloud services. The goal is to make a comparative analysis of OpenNebula, OpenStack and CloudStack tools, evaluating their differences on support for flexibility and resiliency. Also, we aim at evaluating these three cloud tools when they are deployed using a mutual hypervisor (KVM) for discovering new empirical insights. Our research results demonstrated that OpenStack is the most resilient and CloudStack is the most flexible for deploying an IaaS private cloud. Moreover, the performance experiments indicated some contrasts among the private IaaS cloud instances when running intensive workloads and scientific applications.}, }
