Abstract

Cloud computing is one of the most sought after fields in the world of computing and IT. This paper is an extensive survey intended to highlighting the importance of cloud computing in the business world and how it has benefited major companies as well as the potential ones. The different service models and key features along with database services play a major role. Virtualization, its features, and its role in making cloud computing possible are extensively discussed. However, like any other technology, even the cloud technology faces a vast array of issues that need to be attained. Some of the major issues like resource scheduling, security, and interoperability pertaining to cloud are reviewed here, along with possible ways of tackling them. A comprehensive study on the different fields to be explored in the study of cloud computing is presented here. We have done a systematic literature review of 62 selected papers and believe that this paper will help the new researchers in cloud computing area.
