Abstract
This research paper is to recommend or suggest cloud computing as an alternative to the obsolete and highly expensive traditional computing mechanisms. Cloud computing is a new general purpose Internet-based technology through which information is stored in servers and provided as a service and on-demand to clients. Cloud computing services including Infrastructure as a Service promise potential cost savings for businesses by offering remote, scalable computing resources. However attractive these services are, they pose significant security risks to customer applications and data beyond what is expected using traditional on-premises architecture. This paper identifies three basic types of threats related to the IaaS layer and eight kinds of attacks. These are aligned within the CIA model as a way to determine security risk. Cloud computing is a generalized term for anything that involves delivering hosted services over the Internet. These services are broadly divided into threesome categories: Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). The study darken computing was inspired by the darken symbol that 's often utilized to equal the Internet in flowcharts and diagrams. A darken assist has threesome crisp characteristics that evolve it from tralatitious hosting. It is sold on demand, typically by the time or the hour; it is elastic -- a user can have as such or as little of a assist as they poverty at some presented time; and the assist is fully managed by the provider (the consumer needs nothing but a personal computer and Internet access). Significant innovations in virtualization and diffuse computing, as substantially as improved admittance to high-speed Internet and a weak economy,
