  abstract = {Cloud technology is becoming a prominent tool for delivering web applications. However, research is scarce on the impact of Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) on clouds and how various attack methods compare to robust cloud designs. Can cloud technology withstand these attacks, or will traditional web architectures, enhanced with efficient caching and reverse proxy solutions, consistently outperform? This study addresses these questions by evaluating two architectural models: SlapOS and a setup featuring Nginx at the front and several web servers behind it, under various attack scenarios such as DDOS, Slowloris, and RA Flood attacks.
