Investments in data centers are replaced by the consumption of IT resources from a cloud provider. There are several types of virtualization, and that essentially means the abstraction of computational resources for different purposes; one of the ways, widely used, is to create virtual machines, which simulate a complete environment with software and hardware resources for the user. Despite being a technique that has existed for a long time, the growth of cloud computing has made this concept to bewidely discussed. Significant innovations in virtualization, distributed computing, high-speed communications, and IoT, have aroused more and more interest in Cloud Computing. In this sense, we will analyze and evaluate the impact of cloud computing and virtualization on organizations.engCloud computingBusiness impactVirtualizationSecurity issuesconference paper10.1007/978-3-030-90241-4_31
