Abstract
Cloud computing is becoming a popular and important solution for building highly reliable applications on distributed resources. However, it is a critical challenge to guarantee the system reliability of applications especially in voluntary-resource cloud due to the highly dynamic environment. In this chapter, we present Byzantine fault-tolerant cloud (BFTCloud ), a Byzantine fault tolerance framework for building robust systems in voluntary-resource cloud environments. BFTCloud guarantees robustness of systems when up to f of totally 3f + 1 resource providers are faulty, including crash faults and arbitrary behaviors faults. BFTCloud is evaluated in a large-scale real-world experiment which consists of 257 voluntary-resource providers located in 26 countries. The experimental results show that BFTCloud guarantees high reliability of systems built on the top of voluntary-resource cloud infrastructure and ensure good performance of these systems.
