As a cloud administrator you are responsible for holistic administration of cloud resources including security of cloud infrastructure. In certain cloud deployments, organizations neglect the need to protect the virtualized environments, data, data center and network, considering their infrastructure is inherently more secure than traditional IT environments. The new environment being more complex requires a new approach to security. The bottom line is, that as a cloud administrator you need to identify the risks and vulnerabilities associated with cloud deployments and provide comprehensive mitigation plan to address these security issues. You are suggested to do an individual research collecting information related to security risks and vulnerabilities associated with cloud computing in terms of data security, data center security, virtualization security and network security. A comprehensive report providing description of mitigation plan and how these security risks and vulnerabilities can be addressed, is expected from students, complete in all aspects with relevant sources of information duly acknowledged appropriately with in-text citations and bibliography.
