Abstract: Cloud computing is the new term for "distributed" computing. This paradigm uses the Internet to link and communicate with IT processes, software, and hardware that are spread across several physical locations. These days, cloud computing?which facilitates data analytics in addition to storage is one of the most widely used technological components in applications. Cloud forensics can also be used to investigate insider threats and other incidents involving malicious activity by authorized users. The complicated and dynamic nature of cloud infrastructures make cloud forensics challenging. Evidence may be distributed throughout several servers and locations, making it challenging to locate and maintain. Furthermore, stringent security measures from cloud providers might make it challenging for investigators to access and review evidence. This review paper outlines the difficulties in cloud forensics and suggests a few possible solutions. This report also discusses cloud forensics' future.
