Secure Architecture for Virtual Machine to Container Migration in Cloud Computing

Abstract

Cloud Computing is extension of virtualization concepts which can be included 'As a Service'. It has extensive resource scaling and automation capability to integrate everything together in holistic view. In recent days, Cloud Computing has multiple enhancements and it is maturing with more flexibility but still security issues such as Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability remain exists and cloud adoption is happening drastically even though if issues persist. Virtual machine is building blocks for the application landscape and application architecture is monolithic. Container is the next level of abstraction layer in cloud computing. To migrate the existing virtual machine workload into container based will get into lot of security issues. In this paper, we propose secure architecture to migrate the virtual machine workload to containers in Cloud Computing align with security parameters. Current industry trends and challenges migrate the workload into cloud with server-less architecture and containerization.
