Abstract

In the recent times, increase in ICT tools has made significant progress in various sectors. As a result, data storage has become one of the most challenging tasks. Cloud computing has resolved this problem by providing on-demand computing power like virtual servers, storage space, function as a service, and many more. Cloud computing indisputably provides everlasting benefits and is cost-effective model. However, the major drawback in cloud computing is security. In this paper, we discuss about shared responsibility model, global infrastructure and compliance program, and network security features in cloud. These will act as a base for all the services provided by the Amazon Web Services (AWS). We have explored the security features in Amazon EC2, Amazon EBS, Amazon ELB, Amazon VPC, Amazon Route 53, AWS Direct Connect.
