ABSTRACT/KEYWORDS
Cloud computing is a very popular field at present which is
growing very fast and the future of the field seems really
wide. With progressive spotlight on cloud computing as a
possible solution for a flexible, on-demand computing
infrastructure for lots of applications, many companies and
unions have started using it. Obviously, cloud computing
has been recognized as a model for supporting
infrastructure, platform and software services. Within
cloud systems, massive distributed data center
infrastructure, virtualized physical resources, virtualized
middleware platform such as VMware as well as
applications are all being provided and consumed as
services. The cloud clients should get good and reliable
services from a provider and the provider should allocate
the resources in a proper way so as to render good services
to a client. This brings about the problem of optimization
where clients request for more services than they actually
require leading to wastage of the cloud storage resource.
This demands for optimization both on the part of the client
and the cloud service provider. This has lead to increased
project in the various techniques that can be used for
resource allocation within cloud services. This project
focuses on the analysis of machine learning as a technique
that can be used to predict the cloud storage service request
patterns from the clients. The project focuses on a review
of machine learning as a technique that can be used to
predict and therefore optimize the user storage resource
demand and usage for the case of cloud computing storage
IaaS.
Data on cloud storage resource usage was subjected to
experiments using machine learning techniques so as to
determine which give the most accurate prediction. Some
of these machine learning techniques to be reviewed in this
project include linear regression, artificial neural networks
(ANN), support vector machines (SVM).
RESULTS→From the experiments done in this project, it
can be concluded that the use of support vector machine
algorithm (SVM) proves to be the best algorithm for
learning the storage resource usage patterns and predicting
their future usage so as to enable better resource budgeting.

2. LITERATURE REVIEWS/COMPARATIVE
STUDY
In this module focuses on cloud computing resources,
resource allocation models and methods, machine learning
tools and algorithms, profiling and modeling resource usage,
and other related works. Cloud computing offers three main
services which are PaaS, SaaS and Iaas. There is lack of an
appropriate machine learning technique that can be used to
predict storage resource consumption for the case of IaaS
cloud computing service. Machine learning can be used to
predict these, storage resource usage based on previous
client usage patterns. Cloud computing can be offered using
various deployment models and there are various players
involved in offering cloud computing service. These have
been conclusively discussed in the literature review. Various
resource allocation models are reviewed so as to get an
overview of the various resources and the methods that are
used to allocate these resources. A review on machine
learning is also done so as to give a firm background on the
various machine learning algorithms and modeling
techniques, their strengths, weaknesses and applications.
The benefits of this include a better awareness on storage
resource usage for future planning on the part of the
organizations Cloud computing services and hence saving on
costs as well as better client advisory on future requirements
when they request for storage service requests thereby saving
clients from unnecessary additional costs. The poor
performance results produced by statistical estimation models
have flooded the estimation area for over the last decade. Their
inability to handle categorical data, cope with missing data
points, spread of data points and most importantly lack of
reasoning capabilities has triggered an increase in the number
of studies using non-traditional methods like machine learning
techniques (Beekey jha, et. al). The area of machine learning
draws on concepts from diverse fields such as statistics,
artificial intelligence, philosophy,

information theory, biology, cognitive science,
computational complexity and control theory. In this case
the researcher picked on Safaricom limited as a local cloud
computing service provider and corporate organizations it
provides this
services to as the clients for the case of IaaS. If not well
managed, a cloud service provider may end up
underutilizing the available resources on his part and the
cloud client may end up paying for more services than they
actually require. This can be both detrimental to the client in
terms of unnecessary cost and to the service provider in
terms of resource wastages.
Definition of cloud computing?
Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-
demand network access to a shared pool of configurable
computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage,
applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned
and released with minimal management effort or service
provider interaction.
Software as a service (SaaS)
The capability provided to the consumer is to use the
provider’s applications running on a cloud infrastructure.
The applications are accessible from various client devices
through either a thin client interface, such as a web browser
(e.g., web-based email), or a program interface.
Platform as a service (PaaS)
The capability provided to the consumer is to deploy onto
the cloud infrastructure consumer created or acquired
applications created using programming languages,•
libraries, services, and tools supported by the provider. The
consumer does not manage or control the underlying cloud•
infrastructure including network, servers, operating systems,
or storage, but has control over the deployed applications•
and possibly configuration settings for the application-
hosting environment (NIST). • Pay-for-use—costs based on metered service usage
There are three benefits in PaaS.
• Develop applications and get to market faster
• Deploy new web applications to the cloud in minutes
• Reduce complexity with middleware as a service
Infrastructure as a service (IaaS)
IaaS: The capability provided to the consumer is to provision
processing, storage, networks, and other fundamental
computing resources where the consumer is able to deploy
and run arbitrary software, which can include operating
systems and applications. The consumer does not manage or
control the underlying cloud infrastructure but has control
over operating systems, storage, and deployed applications;
and possibly limited control of select networking
components (NIST).
Examples of infrastructure services provider include IBM
BlueHouse, VMWare, Amazon EC2, Microsoft Azure
Platform, Sun ParaScale Cloud Storage, and more.
Infrastructure services address the problem of properly
equipping data centers by assuring computing power when
needed.

Benefits of cloud computing
The advantages of ―renting‖ these ―virtual resources‖ over
traditional on-premise IT includes:
On demand and elastic services—quickly scale up or down
Self-service, automated provisioning and de-provisioning
Reduced costs from economies of scale and resource pooling
Public Cloud: The deployment of a public cloud computing
system is characterized on the one hand by the public
availability of the cloud service offering and on the other hand
by the public network that is used to communicate with the
cloud service. The cloud services and cloud resources are
procured from very large resource pools that are shared by all
end users. Some of the best-known examples of public cloud
systems are Amazon Web Services (AWS) containing the
Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) and the Simple Storage Service
(S3) which form an IaaS cloud offering and the Google App
Engine with provides a PaaS to its customers.

Private Cloud: Private cloud computing systems emulate
public cloud service offerings within an organization’s
boundaries to make services accessible for one designated
organization. Private cloud computing systems make use of
virtualization solutions and focus on consolidating
distributed IT services often within data centers belonging
to the company.
Community Cloud: In a community cloud, organizations
with similar requirements share a cloud infrastructure. It
may be understood as a generalization of a private cloud, a
private cloud being an infrastructure which is only
accessible by one certain organization.
Hybrid Cloud: A hybrid cloud service deployment model
implements the required processes by combining the cloud
services of different cloud computing systems, e.g. private
and public cloud services. The hybrid model is also suitable
for enterprises in which the transition to full outsourcing has
already been completed, for instance, to combine
community cloud services with public cloud services.
3. PROBLEM FORMULATION
The main objective of this investigation is to design
eCloudIDS, a next generation generic security framework
with a hybrid two-tier expert engine-based IDS for public,
private and hybrid cloud computing environments, which
completely safeguards the cloud service provider’s
infrastructure along with cloud service user’s virtual
machines (with data and applications) in utmost protected
mode.
• SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES → In order to achieve the main
objective it is essential to address the many security
concerns:
Security Concern 1: Who retains the data ownership and
control ownership?
Security Concern 2: Who maintains the audit records of the
data?
Security Concern 3: What is the mechanism in the delivery
of this audit record to the customer?
Security Concern 4: As a real owner of the data, does the
CSP allow customers to secure and manage access from end-
users (customer’s client)?
eCloudIDS Objective: Logical storage segregation and
multitenancy security issues
eCloudIDS Objective: Identity management issues
eCloudIDS Objective: Insider attacks
eCloudIDS Objective: Virtualization issues
eCloudIDS Objective: Cloud VM auditor management
issues
eCloudIDS Objective: Hacker attacks
eCloudIDS Objective: Signature based attacks caused by
Worms, Viruses, Trojans, etc.
eCloudIDS Objective 1: Logical storage segregation and
multi-tenancy security issues One of the top/ primary
security concerns in cloud computing, logical storage
segregation and multi-tenancy security issue, gains major
attention from all the stakeholders on cloud. Given the
nature of cloud, multi-tenancy being unique and more
beneficial property with respect to utmost utilization of
pooled resources with multiple users, it carries a 65 new
style of security threat to the entire cloud infrastructure.
Hence, this research work will primarily focus towards the
way and means of handling logical storage and multi-
tenancy security issues.
eCloudIDS Objective 2: Identity management issues Being
an essential component of today’s enterprise computing,
identity management has become more influential with
respect to all aspects of the way business run. When
considering the essence and importance of identity
management, it can concluded that without a proper identity
management, cloud computing may not be complete and
effective. At one hand, the traditional identity management
portfolio getting more maturity; on the other hand it is also
having its own challenges.
eCloudIDS Objective 3: Insider attacks One of the most
popular security threats for many decades by now, insider
attacks are gaining more vigor due to the new characteristics
of cloud computing. When an insider attack is being
performed at cloud service providers premises, the volume
and velocity of its effect is multiple times than a traditional
environment. Hence, this research work will attempt to
prevent insider attacks with possible mechanism.
eCloudIDS Objective 4: Virtualization issues Virtualization
being a backbone of achieving cloud’s objectives, it also brings
a new line of vulnerabilities to the cloud infrastructure.
Protecting both cloud infrastructure and the hosted VMs are
equally important from CSP and cloud user(s) perspectives.
Hence, this research work aimed to address the virtualization
security issues to possible extend.
eCloudIDS Objective 5: Cloud VM auditor management
issues In a traditional environment, a dedicated system’s host
(server) OS being a parent process on top of underlying server
hardware. Due to the new nature of cloud, this scenario gets a
new dimension. In a typical cloud environment, on top of the
underlying server(s) infrastructure, hypervisor (or cloud native
OS) becomes a parent process and host/guest OSs become
child processes. Hence, protecting cloud VMs along with
performing a regular/continuous auditing becomes mandatory
in cloud environment.
eCloudIDS Objective 6: Hacker attacks After protecting a
cloud infrastructure from the newly derived cloud
characteristics-based threats and vulnerabilities, it is also
important to consider other regular hacker or third-party enemy
attacks. Hence, this research will target to handle possible
hacker attacks.
eCloudIDS Objective 7: Signature based attacks caused by
Worms, Viruses, Trojans, etc. Newly derived/designed
worms, viruses and Trojans for cloud environments are
becoming more challenging and difficult to the existing
traditional security tools and frameworks. This proposed
system is aimed to capture such possible new attacks
through its machine learning intelligence.

5.FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS
The prime focus of the feasibility is evaluating the
practicality of the proposed system keeping in mind a
number of factors. The following factors are taken into
account before deciding in favour of the new system.
ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY → The developing system
must be justified by cost and benefit. Criteria to ensure that
effort is concentrated on project, which will give best, return
at the earliest. One of the factors, which affect the
development of a new system, is the cost it would require.
The following are some of the important financial questions
asked during preliminary investigation:
-The costs conduct a full system investigation.
-The cost of the hardware and software.
-The benefits in the form of reduced costs or fewer costly
errors.
-Since the system is developed as part of project work, there
is no manual cost to spend for the proposed system.
Also all the resources are already available, it give an
indication of the system is economically possible for
development.
TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY → The system must be
evaluated from the technical point of view first. The
assessment of this feasibility must be based on an outline
design of the system requirement in the terms of input,
output, programs and procedures. Having identified an
outline system, the investigation must go on to suggest the
type of equipment, required method developing the system,
of running the system once it has been designed.
Technical issues raised during the investigation are:
The project should be developed such that the necessary
functions and performance are achieved within the
constraints.
The project is developed within latest technology.
Through the technology may become obsolete after some
period of time, due to the fact that never version of same
software supports older versions, the system may still be
used.
So there are minimal constraints involved with this project.
OPERATATIONAL FEASIBILITY →This includes
the following questions: Is there sufficient support for the
users?
Will the proposed system cause harm?
The project would be beneficial because it satisfies the
objectives when developed and installed.
All behaviour aspects are considered carefully and
conclude that the project is behaviourally feasible.

on that by using python Programming Languages and
Machine Learning.
4. Review-4
In last module we submit the project after doing all the
implementation.
7.First Phase Progress
In the first phase we all team member had work properly and
design the first module of our project in that it helps the new
user to communicate to our online storage. In the first Module
we have create the login page if the user already exist then he /
she have to login to our website and after that he / she can use
it. If the user doesn’t have any account then first he have to
signup and after that they move to login page and they have to
do login then he move to new page in that page they can use
the online storage and store there data and can access the data
through network.
We all also work on the architecture design and on the coding
in python language on Visual Studio Code and design our
module.
8. Architecture Diagram for Proposed method
In architecture design we have basically define the activity
diagram, use case diagram and other diagram also.
Activity Diagram:
In this activity diagram the diamond shape defines the
condition and rectangle shape defines the entity.
The main aim of this diagram tells that if you are new user
than you have to create your account and after that you can
login. After the login what you want to do you want to do
download the document or upload the document on I cloud.
If you have upload the data on I cloud then it encrypt and
afte that store on the I cloud . If you want to download the
data from the icloud then It Decrypt it and after that it start
downloading into your personal storage it may be phone
storage or system storage.
The last step after performing these thing that you have to
log out from I cloud.
Use Case Diagram

This diagram tells that what kind of activity can be done

by user and as well as by admin.
The user can do activity like: Registration, login, file
uploading, file downloading, update the profile and
logout from the storage.
The activity done by admin are: Login, file upload, View
User, View profile, Update profile, download file and log
out mean a user can do all kinds of activity because they
have each and every kind of access.
