An Approach for Cloud Linux Server Security and Management

Abstract

Cloud computing domain is a well developed technology that everyone uses now-a-days. Most of the users use cloud for computing servers, as virtual hard disk and for analytical purposes. Cloud servers make the users on same data simultaneously and from multiple places. This feature increases productivity in all sectors. IT sector need to manage many servers because most IT organizations have their website where they host the cloud instance for the employees to work. This paper proposes an approach to centrally manage the cloud server instances and also improves the security of cloud server instances. The security maintenance of a cloud server instance is necessary issue to be considered since there is a possibility of leaving vulnerability in the cloud server instance that leads to loss of critical information of an organization. Hence this paper proposes an approach for the maintenance of cloud server instances.
