Cloud Storage Resources + Data Sovereignty + Virtualization Security

Block storage

allocates large volumes of storage for use by virtual server instances

Object storage

provides customers with the ability to place files in buckets and treat each file as an independent entity that may be accessed over the web or through the provider’s API

Data sovereignty

is a principle that states that data is subject to the legal restrictions of any jurisdiction where it is collected, stored, or processed

In an escape attack

the attacker has access to a single virtual host and then manages to leverage that access to intrude upon the resources assigned to a different virtual machine

Virtual machine sprawl o

Resource reuse

occurs when cloud providers take hardware resources that were originally assigned to one customer and reassign them to another customer
