Abstract

Cloud computing is a popular social phenomena that most people use on a regular basis. There are some themes that are universally accepted, much like at any big social event. In the current context, cloud computing is viewed as a quickly evolving field that, with the aid of hardware and software virtualization, may instantly provide extensible services via the Internet. The ability to lease and release resources on a flexible basis in accordance with user requirements is the largest benefit of cloud computing. Additional advantages include increased efficiency, which balances operating costs. This lowers the expensive price of software and hardware. Adopting the newest cloud technology has numerous advantages, but there are privacy concerns as well because data on the cloud might move from provider to provider at any time.

The past few decades have seen a steady increase in demand, which has resulted in a notable rise in interest in cloud computing. Organisations using cloud-based data storage solutions may benefit from a number of factors. These include the potential financial benefits from cloud computing, simpler IT infrastructure administration, and remote information access from any location in the globe with a stable Internet connection. Further research is needed to fully understand the security and privacy issues related to cloud computing. In earlier investigations, researchers from standards organisations, academia, and industry have suggested possible remedies for these problems.

Most issues stem from the fact that the consumer no longer has control over their data because it is stored on a single machine that is owned by the cloud provider. Because their interests may differ (the user may wish his information to be kept private, but the owner may desire to utilise this for his own company), this happens when the owner of the remote server is a different person or organisation than the user. Concerns regarding automated management, guaranteed IoS provisioning, and uncertainty about future cloud system upgrades further impede the adoption of cloud technology. This study covered the fundamentals of cloud computing as well as security flaws, vulnerabilities, and fixes. The article also discusses a number of important cloud-related subjects, including cloud technologies, cloud architectural frameworks, and cloud security ideas, risks, and threats.
