Cloud Computing Architecture And Applications Security
Cloud computing is developed to tackle storage limitations and information security. It's being considered as a new computing paradigm that offers dynamic and flexible resource allocation. Business owners have become more attracted in the possibilities of using cloud computing because it increases the reachability of their services and reduces the need for physical resources. In this paper, the cloud computing architecture is described with a brief actors' roles based reference model. This model allows the stakeholders to understand the overall view of functions, activities, and responsibilities to evaluate and assign the risk of services. At the end of this work, several open researches for security applications is concluded and discussed.
