Abstract

Recent years have been advanced in cloud computing technology. Virtualization supports cloud computing to virtualize the resources to provide software-as-a-service, infrastructure-as-a-service and platform-as-a-service mainly. Many Virtual Machines are used in computing which gives flexibility, agility and scalability to the cloud resources that allow manipulating their Virtual Machines. Virtualized computing provides the virtual machines to client to access the resources at remote locations. Virtualization gives the features of resource utilization, isolation among hardware, operating system and software. Virtualization gives the features of multitenancy for simultaneously access of Virtual Machines, which machines are allocated in single physical machine. Virtual machine can be created, copied and migrated. This flexibility leads to security challenges. This paper presents an analysis report of the current security vulnerabilities in virtualization.
