Cloud computing is a new technology designed to meet business requirements, reduce expenditure and solve IT management problems. Cloud computing relies on many applications such as virtualization but at the same time inherits its security problems. Virtualization architecture provides a powerful and integrated platform for system building. The use of virtualization depends on the layer of encapsulation software (Virtual machine monitor/hypervisor) that provides the operating system inputs and outputs and at the same time surrounds the operating system. The virtual machines does not depend on the state of the actual hardware as several virtual machines are installed on one set of devices. Virtualization inherits security issues inherent in the disconnection between logical and physical situations, causing security issues related to security and attacks on virtual machines. This survey presents and discusses security issues, attacks and vulnerabilities related to virtualization. Finally, range of solutions and appropriate security measures have been offered and applied to have secure virtualization.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
