Abstract

Cloud Computing is being a computation resources platform where it is possible to make up an environment exible and scalable able to host any kind of services. In Cloud Computing, virtualization tech- nologies provide all the needful capabilities to deploy services and run applications in an easy way. Furthermore, large-scale cross border vir- tualization infrastructures present promising landscape to cope with the ever increasing requirements of modern scientic and business applica- tions. The large-scale cross border virtualization infrastructures can be seen as a federation of heterogeneous clouds. We present pragmatic analysis of the potential threats posed to the emerging large-scale cross border virtu- alization infrastructures. We have taken into consideration both internal and external threats to these infrastructures.We also drive the discussion considering a real model of cloud. In particular an infrastructure cloud is brie y presented; a useful scenario where to assess security threats and apply security solutions, that is the European Project, RESERVOIR.
