Virtual Machine Image

Virtual Machine Image (VMI) is the building block of cloud infrastructure. It encapsulates the various applications and data deployed at the Cloud Service Provider (CSP) end. With the leading advances of cloud computing, comes the added concern of its security. Securing the Cloud infrastructure as a whole is based on the security of the underlying Virtual Machine Images (VMI). In this paper an attempt has been made to highlight the various risks faced by the CSP and Cloud Service Consumer (CSC) in the context of VMI related operations. Later, in this article a formal model of the cloud infrastructure has been proposed. Finally, the Ethereum blockchain has been incorporated to secure, track and manage all the vital operations of the VMIs. The immutable and decentralized nature of blockchain not only makes the proposed scheme more reliable but guarantees auditability of the system by maintaining the entire VMI history in the blockchain.

The Way

Cloud computing is a paradigm which has changed the way organizations develop, manage, and deploy their applications. Most of the resources are available at low costs in this technology and it creates new opportunities for organizations to move their existing applications to the cloud for modernization. But this modernization also comes at a price. The authors present a model-driven approach to address the challenges in application modernization and focus on the application migration to cloud. Most of the cloud applications are very specific to a particular vendor's features or services. The proposed methodology addresses the challenge of vendor lock-in also. The authors present their theoretical details and experience with two pilot projects where they have applied the proposed approach.
