Abstract

Cloud computing is a technical model with on-demand network access, delivering various types of services, providing resources such as memory storage, applications, networking, databases, servers, etc. All these resources always keep with us but with one condition: “the internet.” The major purpose of this chapter is to know the security and services requirements and their solutions in a cloud computing environment. This rigorous research extensively explores the complex relationship between service delivery and security. It also looks at the issues and potential fixes for providing services that are trustworthy, efficient, and safe. Because of the accelerated pace of technological advancement, the networked nature of systems, and the rising reliance on internet services, the potential of threats and vulnerabilities has increased significantly. After that, the authors focus on what types of services are given in the cloud where each type of service provides different options like efficiency, accessibility, savings, flexibility, opportunity, innovation, and many more.

2. Background

2.1 Characteristics of Cloud Computing

Here are alternative descriptions of the characteristics of Cloud Computing (see Figure 1):

  • 1.

    On-demand self-services: It means we access any email, chats, and messages from anywhere but we have a valid user id and password and also the Internet (N et al., 2022).

  • 2.

    Broad network access: Here we can access cloud servers from any device whether it is a mobile, tablet, or laptop.

  • 3.

    Resource pooling: The numerous IT resources that are shared and sporadically utilised by the various applications include networks, servers, storage, apps, and services.

  • 4.

    Rapid elasticity: IT resources had to be adaptable enough to scale quickly as needed to supply computing services. Every time the service provider needed something, they gave it to him.

  • 5.

    Measured services: Cloud providers charge users based on their usage of computing resources, often on a pay-as-you-go basis (Harish Naik & Kannan, 2023).

  • 6.

    Security: Cloud provides heavily in Security because to protect their user’s data and ensure them to not leak sensitive data or information.
