Abstract

With the rapid growth of cloud computing, computing resources are provisioned as metered on demand services over networks and can be easily allocated and released with minimal management effort which increases the security risks. This paper aims to provide an understanding of the different threats created by multi-tenancy and virtualization in a public IaaS cloud. This paper further analyze the performance of Xen hypervisor using Apache benchmark which is chosen as it gives a good idea how the hypervisor is able to handle increasing I/O stress in terms of CPU and memory storage as the number of virtual machines increases, ultimately giving an figurative approach on solving threats created by multi-tenancy and virtualization in a public IaaS cloud.
