Cloud Management and Security

Beschreibung

Written by an expert with over 15 years' experience in thefield, this book establishes the foundations of Cloud computing,building an in-depth and diverse understanding of the technologiesbehind Cloud computing. In this book, the author begins with an introduction to Cloudcomputing, presenting fundamental concepts such as analyzing Clouddefinitions, Cloud evolution, Cloud services, Cloud deploymenttypes and highlighting the main challenges. Following on from theintroduction, the book is divided into three parts: Cloudmanagement, Cloud security, and practical examples. Part one presents the main components constituting the Cloud andfederated Cloud infrastructure (e.g., interactions and deployment), discusses management platforms(resources and services), identifies and analyzes the mainproperties of the Cloud infrastructure, and presents Cloudautomated management services: virtual and application resourcemanagement services. Part two analyzes the problem of establishingtrustworthy Cloud, discusses foundation frameworks for addressingthis problem - focusing on mechanisms for treating the securitychallenges, discusses foundation frameworks and mechanisms forremote attestation in Cloud and establishing Cloud trust anchors,and lastly provides a framework for establishing a trustworthyprovenance system and describes its importance in addressing majorsecurity challenges such as forensic investigation, mitigatinginsider threats and operation management assurance. Finally, partthree, based on practical examples, presents real-life commercialand open source examples of some of the concepts discussed, andincludes a real-life case study to reinforce learning -especially focusing on Cloud security. Key Features * Covers in detail two main aspects of Cloud computing:Cloud management and Cloud security * Presents a high-level view (i.e., architectureframework) for Clouds and federated Clouds which is useful forprofessionals, decision makers, and students * Includes illustrations and real-life deploymentscenarios to bridge the gap between theory and practice * Extracts, defines, and analyzes the desired propertiesand management services of Cloud computing and its associatedchallenges and disadvantages * Analyzes the risks associated with Cloud services anddeployment types and what could be done to address the risk forestablishing trustworthy Cloud computing * Provides a research roadmap to establish next-generationtrustworthy Cloud computing * Includes exercises and solutions to problems as well asPowerPoint slides for instructors
