Virtual Machines (VMs) have garnered the attention of businesses in cloud computing as they eliminate the requirements for setting up high-cost computing infrastructures for IT-based services. VMs work by virtualizing entire systems, thereby allowing several virtual systems to run on a single hardware unit. VMs, however, are not infallible. This paper aims to explore the potential scenarios where attacks may be used through virtualization in cloud computing and provide a better understanding of how crucial security is for cloud computing.
