In the current paper, we show empirically that the DARPA dataset by failing to meet important statistical characteristics of real world cloud traffic data center is inadequate for evaluating cloud IDS. We present, as alternative, a new public dataset collected through a cooperation between our lab and a non-profit cloud service provider, which contains benign data and a wide variety of attack data. We present a new hypervisor-based cloud IDS using instance-oriented feature model and supervised machine learning techniques. We investigate 3 different classifiers: Logistic Regression (LR), Random Forest (RF), and Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithms. Experimental evaluation on a diversified dataset yields a detection rate of 92.08% and a false positive rate of 1.49% for random forest, the best performing of the three classifiers. %G English %Z TC 6 %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-03266464/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-03266464/file/487577_1_En_21_Chapter.pdf %L hal-03266464 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-03266464 %~ IFIP-LNCS %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-TC6 %~ IFIP-LNCS-12081 %~ IFIP-MLN
