Virtualization is a simulation of hardware resources for multiple Applications executing on different virtual machines. Virtualization aims to efficiently utilize existing hardware and reduce the total cost of infrastructure, in addition to that virtualization also enhances availability and scalability of resources, It achieves these features with the help of light weight software called as hypervisor. Hypervisor produces layer of abstraction between hardware resources and Applications running on VM, Though the aim of virtualization is same there are various types of virtualization that exists based on its implementation As hypervisor de-couples logical and physical state of the system, it creates an opportunity for the researcher to balance ratio of performance between native system and virtualized system in addition to it attracts researchers to focus upon security concerns raised in new virtual environment. This paper throws light on the security issues raised due to virtualized environments and recommends some solutions to them.
