“…There are challenges to cloud computing solutions such as lack of interoperability, compatibility with existing programs, difficulty in meeting regulations, and insufficient security. Lack of standardization and proprietary applications can lead to complexity and high costs, as well as security concerns with shared infrastructure not providing enough security [10].…”

This paper discusses the importance of virtual machine (VM) scheduling strategies in cloud computing environments for handling the increasing number of tasks due to virtualization and cloud computing technology adoption. The paper evaluates legacy methods and specific VM scheduling algorithms for the Eucalyptus cloud environment and compare existing algorithms using QoS. The paper also presents a selfadapting security monitoring system for cloud infrastructure that takes into account the specific monitoring requirements of each tenant. The system uses Master Adaptation Drivers to convert tenant requirements into configuration settings and the Adaptation Manager to coordinate the adaptation process. The framework ensures security, cost efficiency, and responsiveness to dynamic events in the cloud environment. The paper also presents the need for improvement in the current security monitoring platform to support more types of monitoring devices and cover the consequences of multi-tenant setups. Future work includes incorporating log collectors and aggregators and addressing the needs of a super-tenant in the security monitoring architecture. The equitable sharing of monitoring resources between tenants and the provider should be established with an adjustable threshold mentioned in the SLA. The results of experiments show that Enhanced Round-Robin uses less energy compared to other methods, and the Fusion Method outperforms other techniques by reducing the number of Physical Machines turned on and increasing power efficiency.

“…Eucalyptus has built on various technologies mainly C, Java, JavaScript, Groovy and Python [2]. Issues to be underlined are technology amalgamation [3] deals with a mixture of two or more technologies in one environment, xml security issues, for example, in Eucalyptus under the CLC source code tree there is file xml-securityconfig.xml. There is a tag for TransformAlgorithms, if remain uncommented, could facilitate the DoS (Denial of Service) attack on Cloud system; inherent security issues [4] [25] etc.…”

“…The term "on-site virtualized environment" means the CSP permits partaken of either same or multiple resources to user groups. While investigating for compromised user data, this policy introduces risk of exposure of other users' data to the analyst due to shared nature [3] [13] [26]. The more fruitful analysis is found to be Live analysis but on the other side most agile in nature.…”

Cloud computing has become the mature term which has dealt from single user to large enterprises. The private cloud platform building framework Eucalyptus has great pace of development within short span of time. Achieving AWS (Amazon Web Services) compatible features development along with scalability and sustainability has introduced several issues have an adverse effect on the cloud system. In continuing with this, the chances of intrusion also increase evading traditional mechanism of security. Issues have been introduced due to seamless integration of such structure with computing technologies and so on. By taking advantage of such flaws, the Cybercrime is rapidly increasing in this field. The proposed work is regarded with Digital forensics technique and intrusion detection mechanism. In this scope of work, an experimental setup of Eucalyptus with Snort NIDS (Network Intrusion Detection System) to detect attacks using snort rules has been created. The Eucalyptus Cloud components and Snort logs are exported to outside cloud network to rSyslog server which would be later analyzed by the Awstats log analyzer. Accompanied to above, this scope of work also addresses toward the issue of Eucalyptus to export its logs to the remote rSyslog server. This system will definitely help to reduce the strain on the Cloud forensics.

“…Cloud security in general has been explored various times in the literature and various inside and outside attacks have been discussed along with some proposed solutions [20,21,22,23] but infonnation leakage attacks have not received much attention. Even though information leakage attacks made possible through the presence of shared physical resources have been explored in non-cloud environments [17,18,19].…”

Cloud computing is all the rage these days. With its increase in popularity, it is important to explore and pay attention to security vulnerabilities and threats that may arise in this new environment. So far, only little research exists addressing these issues. In this study, we explore the possibility of attackers being able to pinpoint the location of the victim's machine within the cloud and then mount side-channel attacksthat have been shown to result in information leakage in the cloud. We implement a small cloud in a testbed and find out that the vulnerabilities still exist and our results match with previous research. We then propose our solution that we implemented to thwart the information leakage in our cloud and report its results.
