What are the pros and cons of Open Source software in a cloud computing environment ?

I have found a lot of open source tools to build a cloud computing infrastructure but i am not sure about the pro and cons as the tools don't seem yet very mature. Any advice ?

Using them to build it gives you reduced startup costs, but check if they enable the creation of an open platform (just because the tools are open does not mean what you create from them will be). Also if using them as core components of the solution will it leave easy for others to replicate your proposition or will you build enough unique value in to make it your own proposition.
