Course: PEBL Cloud Computing > Section: Unit 10 - Security in Cloud Computing

Read the article on ‘The Research Cloud lifecycle’ (R10.3) paying attention to the mitigation tasks involved in securing a virtual machine and protect it against hacking attempts. Based on the Virtual Machine you configured in Unit 5 (Virtualisation), implement at least 3 mitigation measures to secure your virtual machine. Post the host address of your virtual machine on the VLE forum. Also, post brief notes on the mitigation measures you applied, highlighting the steps you used to achieve each of those measures on the VLE. Click on the host address provided by your study buddy. Critique the security status of the virtual machine of your class buddy and comment on it on the VLE. Consider the feedback from your class buddy and improve security of your virtual machine. Post the final host address with the improved security on the VLE and indicate it as (FINAL) at the beginning of the address.
