A compilation of the various types of DDoS is done, their strike capabilities and most of all, how best CCE issues could be addressed and resolved for the benefit of all stakeholders along the Cloud continuum. Key challenges against effective DDoS defense mechanism are also explored. CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION Background Information Cloud Computing has developed rapidly over the recent years and it is evidently reshaping the IT industry. The apparent transparency, large volumes of stored data and comparable easiness of operability of Cloud Computing Environment (CCE) makes it vulnerable and easy targets for several kinds of predatory attacks, Distributed Denial of Service, or DDoS being major ones like those against Cloudflare and Spanhaus which are alarmingly and increasingly used for exploiting Sample Network Management Protocols( SNMP). Some of the major DDoS attacks are Flooding, Spoofing, User to Root, Port Scanning, oversized XML, Coercive Parsing, Reflective attacks, and so on and so forth. DDoS attacks have been reported to have significantly high chances of occurrence, first, because the tools of launching DDoS are widely available, and secondly because of the apparent lack of effective timely mechanisms to defend against them. Due to the frequency of attacks such as DDoS, the fullest gains and advantages of CCE stands highly compromised and negated, and there is the need for in-depth, evidential and research-validated studies on the topic and its many ramifications over time, how DDoS have evolved, and what remedial actions ...
