With its multiple transformational effects on computing operations and myriad commercial and technological potential, cloud computing is a fast developing technology. However, appropriate forensic capabilities that could aid in the investigation of illegal activity in the cloud have not yet been established by cloud service providers and clients. The difficulty of seizing a suspect’s computer and accessing their files without breaching the privacy of many other users is a result of the fact that storage systems are no longer local and that each cloud server now houses files from numerous users. Since a lack of digital investigation may increase hazards against cloud settings, cloud forensic investigations must be acknowledged for any occurrence that occurs in cloud services. The steps of identification, collection, inspection, analysis, and reporting are the focus of this study's evaluation of how to conduct forensic investigations on cloud computing in light of these challenges. Due to challenges with jurisdiction, data duplication, and multi-tenancy on the cloud platform, locating, identifying, and isolating the suspected or compromised targets is challenging. In contrast to earlier studies, this study distinguishes between the issues and potential solutions for non-cloud and cloud digital forensics by basing its analysis on the phases of traditional digital forensics. The study discusses the difficulties in cloud forensics and their remedies, and the presentation aids investigators in better understanding the issues in cloud systems.
