Abstract

Cloud computing is a technology which provides the capability to use storage resources and computing services via Internet. Performance and resource management are a challenging task in cloud computing due to increase in demand of services by the user in a multitenant environment. Also, data privacy in cloud is a major issue because different organizations use various services of cloud. Security of cloud computing refers to a method used to protect data and various applications of cloud computing. In this paper, we have surveyed various issues in cloud computing related to resource management, load balancing, data privacy, energy consumption, data storage, etc. Moreover, the survey has also identified the solution to the existing problems in the literature to counter various issues in cloud environment.
