IntroductionThe information technology sector is growing at a rapid pace. Every business entity requires some form of IT support to ensure that business operations are uninterrupted. As an entity grows in size and revenue, the information system needed to support the entity must also grow. Some businesses may not have sufficient resources to accommodate this expansion. Their building may be too small or they can't afford to purchase the equipment. In this case, an organization will choose to migrate its network infrastructure to a cloud computing environment. Cloud computing allows a company to deploy a large-scale network without incurring the expense of changing the building's infrastructure. Cloud computing can offer three services; infrastructure as a service (IaaS), software as a service (SaaS), and platform as a service (PaaS). The needs of a growing business determine the services it needs. However, most organizations acquire IaaS. When this happens, companies give up their data to the cloud. They are not aware of how their information is kept secure and confidential. All their operations depend on cloud operations. Cloud computing should not be considered a significant option for data storage and network infrastructure solutions due to obvious security concerns. What is cloud computing? The purpose of cloud computing is to offer software as a service. In cloud technology, the software is not installed locally on the machines but managed externally by third parties. Use of the application must be done via a network connection or the software must be installed on a local computer and accessible elsewhere. All data and information processing is done separately from a major war... half of the paper... 27(22), 17.Armbrust, M., Fox, A., Griffith, R. , Joseph, A.D. , Katz, R., Konwinski, A., &…Zaharia, M.
