In today’s business environment, cloud computing and virtualization are the cost effective technologies that are striving in order to maximize speed and agility of IT operations. Cloud computing is a network-based platform for sharing computations and resources. Cloud computing is based on a group of virtualised computing resources. Virtualization is defined as the ability to run multiple operating systems on a single system and share underlying hardware resources. Based on virtualization, cloud computing allows workload to be distributed through virtual machines or physical machines.
Security for cloud computing is a fast-growing service that facilitates many of the same functionalities as like traditional IT security which includes protecting critical information from theft, data leakage and deletion. Cloud computing security is defined as the set of control-based technologies and policies designed to follow regulatory compliance rules and protect the information, data applications and infrastructure that are associated with cloud computing.
In this module, you will learn the history and characteristics of cloud computing, cloud deployment and delivery models, security guidance defined by the CSA (cloud security alliance) group and top threats to cloud security.

It became possible to execute one or more operating systems simultaneously in an isolated environment using virtualization software such as VMware. All these virtual computers could be executed inside one physical hardware which in turn could run on a completely different operating system. The virtual machine operating system took the 1950s shared access mainframe to the next level. By using a VM operating system, multiple distinct computing environments could reside on one physical environment. Virtualization has quickly become important in communication and information
