  1. Secure Cloud Computing with Virtualized Network Infrastructure HotCloud 10 By XuanranZong

  2. Cloud Security • Two end of the spectrum • Amazon EC2 • Shared, public cloud • Resource multiplexing, low cost • Low security • Government cloud • Dedicated infrastructure • High cost • High security

  3. Design Goal • Isolation • Transparency • Location independence • Easy policy control • Scalability (?) • Low cost

  4. Conventional data center architecture • VLAN to ensure security • Scalability issue: can take up to 4K id • Management and control overhead • Per-user security policy control • But, how to enforce? • End-host? Not secure enough • Middlebox? Unnecessary traffic

  5. Secure Elastic Cloud Computing Reference: http://www.usenix.org/events/hotcloud10/tech/slides/hao.pdf

  6. Numbering and addressing • Each customer has a unique cnet id • VM can be identified by (cnet id, IP) • Each domain has a unique eid • Use VLAN to separate different customer in the same domain • VLAN id can be reused in different domain

  7. Customer network integration • Private network can be treated as a special domain where VPN is used to connect it to core domain

  8. Central controller • Address mapping • VM MAC <-> (cnet id, IP) • VM MAC <-> eid • eid <-> FE MAC list • (cnet id, eid) <-> VLAN id • Policy databas • E.g. packet from customer A are first forwarded to firewall F.

  9. Forwarding elements • Address lookup and mapping • FE MAC of the destination domain • VLAN ID • Policy enforcement • By default, packets designated to a different customer are dropped • Tunneling between FEs • Encapsulate another MAC header

  10. Data forwarding Reference: http://www.usenix.org/events/hotcloud10/tech/slides/hao.pdf

  11. How does it solve the limitation? • VLAN scalability • Partition network into smaller edge domain, each maintains its own VLAN • VLAN id can be reused • Per-user security • Security policy enforced by FE • CC stores security policies for all customers

  12. Discussion • Security via isolation and access control • Consider the co-residence problem proposed by “Get off my cloud” paper • Matching Dom0 IP address • Disable traceroute • Small round-trip time • Every packet needs to go through FE • Numerically close IP address • Each customer has private IP address

  13. Discussion • Cached vs installed forwarding table • VM migration • Update CC (eid, VLAN id)

  14. Discussion • Pros • Security enforcement via isolation and access control • Scalable in terms of number of customers supported by VLAN • Most networking equipments are off-the-shelf • Cons? • Scalability? Centralized CC? • Larger round trip time within the same edge domain • Tunneling?
