1.      Describe the security issues with virtual systems.

Solution

Architectural vulnerability:

The layer of concept between the physical hardware and the virtualized systems organization the IT services are a potential target of assault. Just as the guest OS is focused to the same security risks as a physical system, security measures must be installed on all VMs.

Software vulnerability:

The most significant software in a virtual IT system is the hypervisor. Any security susceptibility in the hypervisor software will put VMs at risk of failure.

Configuration risks:

Appropriate to the effortlessness of cloning and copying images, a new communications can be deployed very simply in a virtual environment. This initiates configuration drift; consequently, controlling and accounting for the fast deployed environments becomes a critical task.

More issues:

Managing oversight and responsibility

Patching and preservation

Visibility and fulfillment

VM sprawl
