Cloud System Performance and Security Improvements with Multi-tenancy Integration
Keywords:
Cloud computing, multi-tenancy, MetLab, interface complexity, securityAbstract
Cloud computing has emerged as a popular paradigm for delivering scalable and flexible computing resources to businesses and individuals. However, ensuring the performance and security of cloud systems continues to be a significant concern. Multiple users or tenants can share the same cloud infrastructure thanks to multi-tenancy, a crucial notion in cloud computing. This dissertation explores the integration of multi-tenancy as a means to enhance the security and performance of cloud systems. The comprehensive review of the existing literature on cloud computing, multi-tenancy, and the associated security and performance challenges. It analyses the benefits and drawbacks of multi-tenancy and identifies the key research gaps that need to be addressed. To address the security concerns, the dissertation investigates various security mechanisms and techniques that can be employed within a multi-tenant cloud environment. It explores access control models, encryption techniques, and secure data isolation methods to ensure the privacy and integrity of tenant data. The dissertation also explores auditing and monitoring mechanisms to detect and mitigate potential security breaches.
