AbstractCloud provides access to shared pool of resources like storage, networking, and processing. Distributed denial of service attacks are dangerous for Cloud services because they mainly target the availability of resources. It is important to detect and prevent a DDoS attack for the continuity of Cloud services. In this review, we analyze the different mechanisms of detection and prevention of the DDoS attacks in Clouds. We identify the major DDoS attacks in Clouds and compare the frequently-used strategies to detect, prevent, and mitigate those attacks that will help the future researchers in this area.
