In present days, usage of cloud technology has increased. Cloud technology has become an integral part of human life today. This on-demand service provision flexibility support of cloud technology has attracted many companies to relay. It does not need to purchase servers, databases, and their related sophisticated technologies for the establishment of any new company. Simultaneously, security of data in the cloud is much alarming and requires some attention. Cybercriminals have many ways to intrude into the user's systems with the help of the user's cloud logs, switches, and routers. Cloud is distributing computing and one can never think of cloud computing without these mechanisms. Still, the security mechanisms are in infancy. Identifying the cyber culprit's cybernetic evidence plays an important role. Cloud service providers generally do not provide the cloud logs and virtual machine instances to the cloud security analyst. Cybernetic evidence is enough for cyber culprits to abuse cloud computations at any moment. There is a need to strengthen the security mechanisms to avoid the intrusion of cyber culprits. Cloud forensics is a way to do such activities. Many types of research are done in this field, but many more challenges need to be solved. High-performance cluster-based computing (HPCBC) are alternative to supercomputers, and can be used widely in IoT and AI. HPCBC works on parallel processing mechanism. This paper suggests that with the help of HPCBC, cloud forensics can be given a new direction. The files can be had simultaneous imaging and upload and encryption. The files should be processed in real-time stream processing with the remote desktop connection. This survey paper provides various insights into such cloud forensic procedures and techniques.
