Building Trust in Cloud Computing - Isolation in Container Based Virtualisation

摘要

Cloud computing is now a mature technology that provides a wide variety of services. However, a challenging issue that remains for many users is choosing the best cloud service for a specific application and in many cases, one of the key factors to consider is security and trust. For example, ensuring data privacy is still a main factor in building trust relationships between cloud service providers and cloud users. In this paper, we propose a security system to address the weak isolation in container-based virtualisation that is based on shared kernel OS and system components. We address the isolation issue in containers through the addition of a Role Based Access Control model and the provision of strict data protection and security.
