Cloud computing is the next stage in evolution of the internet, which provides large amount of computing and storage to customers provisioned as a service over the internet. However, cloud computing facing so many security challenges due to the possible compromise or byzantine failures. In this paper, we focus on Ensuring data storage security in cloud computing, which is an important aspect of Quality of Service (QoS). We propose an effective and flexible distribution verification protocol to address data storage security in cloud computing. In this protocol, we rely on erasure code for the availability, reliability of data and utilize token pre-computation using Sobol Sequence to verify the integrity of erasure coded data rather than Pseudorandom Data in existing system. Unlike prior works, our scheme provides more security to user data stored in cloud computing. The performance analysis shows that our scheme is more secure than existing system against Byzantine failure, unauthorized data modification attacks, and even cloud server colluding attacks.

The substantial demand for English translation services in cloud computing necessitates resource allocation and management. This study enhances the allocation and administration of English translation resources in cloud computing. This study enhances cloud-based English translation services and influences language translation, natural language processing, and cloud computing. This research aims to provide a pragmatic method for the complex challenge of effectively allocating and managing English translation resources inside cloud computing networks. The algorithm is used to assess allocation and management techniques based on the characteristics of the ongoing activities and the status of the cloud network. The features include the computing capacity of edge servers and devices, the quality of the communication channel, the efficacy of translation resource use, and the latency requirements of the services. The proposed model can autonomously learn about the network environment and make decisions about resource allocation to enhance performance and minimize latency. The ability of cloud computing to project future trajectories from an initial state to ascertain the ideal action by evaluating reward values is a principal benefit of the system. This capability enables the system to choose the optimal course of action. The proposed strategy achieves substantial improvements in key performance indicators, including a 36.4% reduction in average service latency, a 24.7% gain in resource utilization, and a 3.5% improvement in translation accuracy. Additionally, the approach demonstrates excellent scalability, handling increased workloads with minimal impact on performance, and reduces costs associated with translation services, making it a cost-effective solution for cloud-based translation. These findings, supported by the results of our Monte Carlo simulations presented significant implications for the development of efficient and cost-effective cloud-based translation services.

Cloud computing security (sometimes referred to simply as security) is an evolving sub- domain of Computer security, Network security and, more broadly, Information security It refers to a broad set of policies, technologies, and controls deployed to protect data, applications, and the associated infrastructure of cloud computing. Cloud security is not to be confused with security software offerings that are cloud-based (a.k.a. security-as-a-service).There are a number of security issues/concerns associated with cloud computing but these issues fall into two broad categories: Security issues faced by cloud providers (organizations providing software, platform, or infrastructure as a service via the cloud) and security issues faced by their customers. In most cases, the provider must ensure that their infrastructure is secure and that their clients' data and applications are protected while the customer must ensure that the provider has taken the proper security measures to protect their information. The extensive use of virtualization in implementing cloud infrastructure brings unique security concerns for customers or tenants of a public cloud service. Virtualization alters the relationship between the OS and underlying hardware - be it computing, storage or even networking. This introduces an additional layer - virtualization - that itself must be properly configured, managed and secured .Specific concerns include the potential to compromise the virtualization software, or hyper visor. While these concerns are largely theoretical, they do exist. Cloud computing offers great potential to improve productivity and reduce costs, but at the same time it possesses many security risks. In this paper we identify the possible security attacks on clouds including: Denial of Service attack, Authentication attack Man-in-the Middle attack, Wrapping attacks, Malware-Injection attacks, Flooding attacks, Browser attacks, and also Accountability checking problems. We identify the root causes of these attacks and propose specific solutions. In this paper, the authors discuss security issues for cloud computing and present a layered framework for secure clouds and then focus on two of the layers, i.e., the storage layer and the data layer. In particular, the authors discuss a scheme for secure third party publications of documents in a cloud. Next, the paper will converse secure federated query processing with map Reduce and Hardtop, and discuss the use of secure co-processors for cloud computing. Finally, the authors discuss XACML implementation for Hardtop and discuss their beliefs that building trusted applications from untrusted components will be a major aspect of secure cloud computing. Keywords : Accountability, Authentication attacks, Computer security, Cloud Computing, Flooding attacks, Hypervisor, Virtualization, Wrapping attacks, Browser attacks, secure clouds.

There are many advantages for deploying a mass spectrometry workflow to the cloud. While "cloud computing" can have many meanings, in this case, I am simply referring to a virtual computer that is remotely accessible over the Internet. This "computer" can have as many or few resources (CPU, RAM, disk space, etc.) as your demands require and those resources can be changed as you need without requiring complete reinstalls. Systems can be easily "checkpointed" and restored. I will describe how to deploy virtualized, remotely accessible computers on which you can perform your basic mass spectrometry data analysis. This use is a quite restricted microcosm of what is available under the umbrella of "cloud computing" but it is also the (useful!) niche use for which straightforward how-to documentation is lacking.This chapter is intended for people with little or no experience in creating cloud computing instances. Executing the steps in this chapter, will empower you to instantiate a computer with the performance of your choosing with preconfigured software already installed using the Amazon Web Service (AWS) suite of tools. You can use this for use cases that span when you need limited access to high end computing thru when you give your collaborators access to preconfigured computers to look at their data.

Cloud computing is the on-demand delivery of IT resources over the Internet with pay-as-you-go pricing. Instead of buying, owning, and maintaining physical data centers and servers, you can access technology services, such as computing power, storage, and databases, on an as-needed basis from a cloud provider like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google cloud. Cloud computing is one of the most growing technologies. The fundamental idea behind cloud computing is to distribute an array of computing services by unifying and scheduling a pool of computing resources, thereby minimizing the burden on the users and helping them focus on their core businesses. These computing resources are hosted on virtual hosts and distributed on-demand to the users by cloud service providers. For efficient resource utilization, systematic load balancing of incoming user traffic across virtual hosts is imperative. Aim of this paper is to design and implement Network load balancer with cross zone feature which balance incoming user requests and avoid the problem of server down in real scenario. Elastic Load Balancer automatically equally distribute incoming traffic to the available EC2, targets, like Amazon EC2 instances, IP addresses containersand Lambda functions. Load balancer effectively distribute load equally on available server and AZ to improve fault tolerance and availability. It can manage the differing load of your application traffic in one Availability Zone or over different Availability Zones.

The availability and advancements of cloud computing service models such as IaaS, SaaS, and PaaS; introducing on-demand self-service, auto scaling, easy maintenance, and pay as you go, has dramatically transformed the way organizations design and operate their datacenters. However, some organizations still have many concerns like: security, governance, lack of expertise, and migration. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the cloud computing customers’ opinions, feedbacks, attitudes, and emotions towards cloud computing services using sentiment analysis. The associated aim, is to help people and organizations to understand the benefits and challenges of cloud services from the general public’s perspective view as well as opinions about existing cloud providers, focusing on three main cloud providers: Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud. The methodology used in this paper is based on sentiment analysis applied to the tweets that were extracted from social media platform (Twitter) via its search API. We have extracted a sample of 11,000 tweets and each cloud provider has almost similar proportion of the tweets based on relevant hashtags and keywords. Analysis starts by combining the tweets in order to find the overall polarity about cloud computing, then breaking the tweets to find the specific polarity for each cloud provider. Bing and NRC Lexicons are employed to measure the polarity and emotion of the terms in the tweets. The overall polarity classification of the tweets across all cloud providers shows 68.5% positive and 31.5% negative percentages. More specifically, Azure shows 63.8% positive and 36.2% negative tweets, Google Cloud shows 72.6% positive and 27.4% negative tweets and AWS shows 69.1% positive and 30.9% negative tweets.
