Ways to Collect Evidence for Cloud Computing Forensics
Evidence gathering for cloud workloads varies according to the workload type. Capturing disks in a running instance is comparable to capturing disks in virtual environments. Major IaaS providers allow users to conduct snapshot captures of their VM workload. Analysts may transform the snapshot into a live analysis volume and upload it to a cloud or on-premises forensics workstation. Customers in most cloud settings may immediately grab IaaS OS and data disks from the administration site.
