Abstract

High availability (HA) is a critical requirement for cloud-based applications, particularly for large-scale enterprises that demand continuous service availability and low-latency performance. Secure resource allocation in cloud environments is fundamental to achieving high availability while ensuring data protection, privacy, and compliance with security regulations. This paper investigates various secure resource allocation models for high availability cloud-based applications, examining their effectiveness in minimizing downtime and optimizing resource distribution across multiple cloud providers. By focusing on performance, security, and scalability, this paper provides insights into the best practices and challenges faced by organizations deploying high availability applications in the cloud.
