Virtualization Security in Cloud Computing- A Survey

Cloud computingat present is the most widely adopted computing paradigm across the globe. Oneofthe core attribute of cloud computing virtualization is considered as selling point of cloud services. However, this cloud-based environment remains prone to hackers and intruders, prompting adverse effects on any computing system. Therefore, security is an important aspect of cloud computing considered as an integral part of virtualization. Paperaims to identify and explore issuestransforming into challengesduring process of virtualizationpresented througha survey of published literature. Paper aims to collect data from existing publications and present it in a useful format for fellow researchers to gain insight into this domain and have a comprehensive knowledge from a single paper. We have selected 40 papers to be included after careful analysis from existing literature till date form online digital data bases. We have classified the problems and with solutions in a matrix for ease of readers and help them in better understating our findings. We have also classified several tool and techniques in use of security of virtualization in cloud computing and their pros and cons
