Investigation of Security Breaches Due to Resource Sharing in Virtual Machine Migration Using Hybrid Ant Colony Optimization with ANN

Abstract

Cloud computing is one of the active research areas in High Performance Computing. It helps to share the resources globally in a distributed manner. In this paper, hybrid ACO with ANN is designed to ensure the best and the secured VM consolidation process. Initially, the objectives constraints for power consumption, resource deterioration and the SLA parameters are modelled for the Physical Machines and Virtual Machines. The selection of VMs is explored by the concept of Ant Colony Optimization that select the best VMs by the predefined SLA parameters. Also, the eavesdropping attack is also modulated in the cloud shared environment. The proposed hybrid ACO with ANN is implemented in CloudSim and it’s compared with the honeybee with GA and PSO with GA. The simulation results have proved the efficiency of the VMs consolidation process with the security constraints in terms of time-related on uptime and downtime of the servers.
