Risk assessment of Hosting a Web Application on Cloud Infrastructure Providers

Static Risk Assessment, Multi Criteria Decision Making, Cloud Service Providers AssessmentAbstract
The need for a company to host a web application on the state of the art infrastructure has led to the usage of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). Cloud IaaS providers are companies that provide the most basic IT needs – servers, networking, and storage – on a usage-based payment model. They typically make heavy investments in data centers and other infrastructure, and then rent it out, allowing consumers to avoid investments of their own. Even these providers, however, are not all pursuing the same business model. There is no proper framework for analyzing the risk of hosting a web application on the above mentioned Cloud Infrastructure's. In this work we develop a static risk assessment tool using the multi-valued decision making algorithm for the service providers who are going to host their service on the cloud Infrastructure. This tool analyses the service provider's hosting requirement and suggests the less risky cloud provider to host their services.
