Abstract

This project focuses on the field of Security in Virtual Servers in the Cloud environments. Specifically, the security at the IaaS is studied. The specific case related to minimization of risks when allocating new virtual machines into physical machines is studied. The case of how a vulnerable virtual machine that is allocated in a physical server can compromise the neighboring virtual machines and even the physical server is explained. In this study a new method for quantifying the security risk of virtual machines is proposed. This parameter helps in the decision-making task for choosing the physical server to install the new virtual server in order to maximize the security. A security good practice guide focusing on Virtual Server Security is provided in this document.
