Abstract

By moving high-quality computer equipment to the Internet, cloud computing has the potential to lower both maintenance and administration expenses. As a result, it is becoming a dominant technology since it enables a pay-as-you-go business strategy. In spite of its many advantages, it has significant security issues. Cloud computing's ability to provide computing resources on demand is very important when it comes to safety. According to the findings of this study, a variety of concerns associated with cloud resource availability are examined. Even today, maintaining high levels of computer and storage resource availability and security remains a difficult undertaking. To carry out their attacks, the adversary class quickly takes advantage of the cloud infrastructure's flaws. An investigation of many types of (DDoS) assaults and associated mitigation techniques is presented in this article. This may be the first study to look at a wide range of DDoS assaults in the cloud. This study aims basically to review the previous detection and defensive approaches for DDoS attacks in details as well as classified defensive mechanisms depending on the layer type.
