An Intelligent Virtual Machine Monitoring System Using KVM for Reliable And Secure Environment in Cloud

摘要

The KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine Manager) hypervisor manages many VMs (Virtual Machine) on single host. The virtualization environment for cloud systems in IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) layer supports heterogeneous operating systems in homogeneous environment. An Intelligent Virtualization Monitoring System Using KVM monitors the virtual machines under KVM hypervisor. The KVM is a type II hypervisor that is Linux kernel based virtual machine manager which comes with Linux OS. The VMs are the target for the malicious or abnormal attacks. To protect the VMs from the attack, the proposed system uses the VM monitoring script to get the status of the VMs. An intelligent virtualization monitoring system is incorporated as a part of KVM by sending the status of each VM running on hypervisor. The intelligent system categorizes attack patterns and actively rectify the attack. The necessary action taken will be communicated through the cloud API.
