Abstract

Emergence of cloud computing technology has created a revolutionary change in the business world where in a central repository of services and resources can be made available to enterprises on demand. The growing popularity as well as demand of cloud services has made this modern technology more challenging in seamless functionality of it. In order to provide the seamless functionality to cloud computing environment, it must be capable of functioning in an error free manner, and moreover, it must be fault tolerant as well. A set of issues and challenges are associated with provisioning of fault tolerance in cloud computing environment, and at the same time, various strategies have been innovated by researchers and scientists in the said filed to make cloud services fault tolerant. In this paper, we have comprehensively outlined the issues and challenges related to fault tolerance of cloud computing environment along with an elaboration of different fault tolerance provisioning techniques.
