This document presents a literature review focused on cloud computing, starting with a broad scan of research papers and culminating in a focused analysis of key articles. The review covers topics such as cloud computing vulnerabilities, forensic investigation approaches using VM snapshots, and the application of inventory theory for cost optimization. It details the process of selecting and analyzing relevant papers, updating bibliographic files, and developing a final outline for the literature review chapter. The review explores the background of cloud computing, its service models, and the challenges associated with its adoption, including data security, privacy, and cost structure. The document also discusses the potential of inventory theory to optimize costs in cloud computing environments, highlighting its value deliverables and expected outcomes. This assignment examines the role of cloud computing in IT, emphasizing its importance for both individuals and organizations seeking efficient information access, storage, and sharing solutions.

CHAPTER 1
LITERATURE REVIEW
In the present assignment, literature review is to be written on the topic “Cloud
Computing”. I am analysing and investigating the two papers which depends on cloud
computing. I am selecting two diversified papers, first one is demonstrating the
vulnerabilities which are related to Cloud Computing. In the second paper, I am
evaluating the efficient approach which is related to the forensic investigation in Cloud
Computing by adopting VM snapshots and this is more reliable. This literature review is
starting from the beginning and it includes some steps which they have to follow:
Segment 1.1 is identified with expansive sweep and in this, I talk about my exploration
papers, a gathering of research articles and in addition a list of sources of all papers. Area
1.2 is relying upon the engaged output and in this, I channel my exploration and discover
more papers which are significant with the subject. At that point, after this, I again
refreshed the book index. Area 1.3 and 1.4 depend on writing Review where I chose and
broke down the two papers. Area 1.5 gives the layout of the section which is identified
with Literature Review. Last, Section 1.6 is the Introduction of my point.
1.1 Broad Scan
In Broad Scan I have chosen my theme by doing research on the Internet by utilizing
enhanced catchphrases. I sought point on the distinctive stage, for example, VU library,
IEEE and also Google Scholar. I discovered such a large number of papers and select
twenty-five from them for the following level.

1.3 Cloud Computing
According to Grobauer, et. al (2016), it has been analysed that cloud computing
demonstrate the essential role in IT sector for the both individual and organisations from
the appropriate way so that they can properly access, store along with the sharing
information. For the experiment, they have to above some vulnerabilities which are
related to cloud computing. Along with this, they have to adopt appropriate service model
which are related to cloud computing. Section 1.3.1 provides the lights on the background
of the topic. This includes the vulnerabilities and service model which are related to
cloud computing. Section 1.3.2 shows the appropriate outline by which they investigated.
Section 1.3.3 provides the indication of service model which is related to cloud
computing. Section 1.3.4 is the discussion part and in this pros and cons related to the
topic.
