Providing a method for security analysis and evaluation of infrastructure services in cloud computing

Abstract Today, cloud security is necessary to improve the service allocation, continuity of operations, storage management, information security and. In this way, analyzing the server in question and then defining a formal model by applying the security features is essential. In this paper, infrastructure services are described as services in cloud computing and each vulnerability is investigated. According to Petri's modeling tools, a new approach to assessing the security of infrastructure systems as a service is provided and analyzed. With the help of this method, the security of infrastructure systems as a service in cloud computing can be compared and evaluated. Consequently, using Petri's modeling tool, one of the most famous commercial systems of the infrastructure is modeled as a service called OpenStack, and the behavior of the attacks is evaluated. Applying this method to the OpenStack system demonstrates that our work is safe and that researchers, designers and cloud service providers are expected to make significant gains in delivering results.
