Proxy Based Model to Protect Cloud Infrastructure as Service (IaaS) Platforms from DDOS Attacks

Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) is the most acceptable Cloud Computing delivery model that CEO and IT managers are exploring as they relook at their IT infrastructure. However, the adoption of IaaS faces Challenge/concerns such as reliability, and regulatory compliance for data locality. Providing consistent services in on-demand provisioned Cloud infrastructure services is of primary importance due to multi-tenant and potentially multi-provider nature of Clouds Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) environment. Thus arises the Problem of Denial of service (DDOS) attack that will lead a way for unsophisticated and uncoordinated flood of service requests to the Cloud for the required Infrastructure. Thus this paper tires to abbreviate a model that is based on proxy server model that consists of an interface to manage and control the Dynamic demand for the cloud infrastructure from multiple providers to the users to migrate from an infrastructure that issued DDOS, to the potentially available infrastructure to minimize the Load on that single machine.
