Abstract

Cloud computing is becoming popular among IT businesses due to its agile, flexible and cost effective services. Virtualization is a key aspect of cloud computing and a base of providing infrastructure layer services to tenants. In this chapter, we describe the different virtualization types and the security issues in cloud virtualization components such as hypervisor, virtual machines and guest disk images. The virtualization security analysis covers (i) attacks on virtualization components in cloud, (ii) security solutions for virtualization components provided in literature and (iii) security recommendations for virtualization environment that can be useful for the cloud administrators. Moreover, this chapter also discusses various industrial solutions developed for cloud virtualization security.
