Anomaly Detection in Cloud Computing Workloads Based on Resource Usage
摘要
Cloud computing services face increasing security threats, which is a challenging problem. The existing anomaly detection methods struggle with multi-metric correlations and missing data. To address these challenges, this paper proposes Pattern-AD, a novel anomaly detection method that models attacks as anomalies against the system’s normal states. Unlike traditional approaches, Pattern-AD extracts frequent patterns using the Apriori data mining algorithm, offering flexibility regardless of pattern length. Evaluated on the GWA-T-12 dataset (1750 VMs), the proposed Pattern-AD achieves 99.98% accuracy, outperforming KNN and Isolation Forest by
