A Virtual Machine Cloning Approach Based on Trusted Computing
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cloud computing has become more and more popular and the technology of rapid virtual machine (VM) cloning is widely used in cloud computing environment to implement the fast deployment of VMs to meet the need of bursting computational request. However, the security issue of VM cloning technology is not considered thoroughly in current approaches. This paper proposes a virtual machine cloning approach based on trusted computing which deals with memory and disk of a VM separately. This approach resolves three problems: the identities verification of involved servers; the attestation of source VM and destination VM; the protection of integrity of transmitted data.

A Versioning Approach to VM Live Migration
In the context of virtual machines live migration, two strategies called “pre-copy” and “post-copy” have already been presented; but each of these strategies works well only in some circumstances. In this paper, we have a brief presentation of QAVNS and then introduce a new approach which is based on the concept of "informational object", assigning QAVNS-scheme-revision number, and observing th...
متن کاملA Near Optimal Approach in Choosing The Appropriate Physical Machines for Live Virtual Machines Migration in Cloud Computing
Migration of Virtual Machine (VM) is a critical challenge in cloud computing. The process to move VMs or applications from one Physical Machine (PM) to another is known as VM migration. In VM migration several issues should be considered. One of the major issues in VM migration problem is selecting an appropriate PM as a destination for a migrating VM. To face this issue, several approaches are...
متن کاملLeveraging Trusted Computing and Model Checking to Build Dependable Virtual Machines
In the last years, it has emerged a market of virtual appliances, i.e., virtual machine images specifically configured to provide a given service (e.g., web hosting). The virtual appliance model greatly reduces the burden of configuring virtual machines from scratch. However, the current model involves risks: security threats, misconfigurations, privacy loss, etc. In this paper, we propose an a...
متن کاملCommunication-Aware Traffic Stream Optimization for Virtual Machine Placement in Cloud Datacenters with VL2 Topology
By pervasiveness of cloud computing, a colossal amount of applications from gigantic organizations increasingly tend to rely on cloud services. These demands caused a great number of applications in form of couple of virtual machines (VMs) requests to be executed on data centers’ servers. Some of applications are as big as not possible to be processed upon a single VM. Also, there exists severa...
