Abstract

Just about every technology magazine and article published today mentions virtualization or cloud computing. Technically, the two are different but very much intertwined. When environments use virtualization, there are artifacts an investigator can request that may provide valuable information. The content of this chapter explores the virtualization process, types of virtualized environments, and the part virtualization plays in cloud computing. A section will be included that presents case scenarios to demonstrate the type of evidence gathered in each environment for forensic investigations. A final section will include recommendations for additional areas of research in the area of investigating environments containing virtualization integration with cloud environments.
