Fault tolerance systems in open source cloud computing environments–A systematic review

Abstract

Considering that there are several distinct cloud computing environments and several suggested approaches for the treatment of fault tolerance for such environments, the objective of the study presented here is a systematization of fault tolerance proposals that results in a survey and the generation of a guided consultation environment for reading the relevant techniques for each case. With the systematization of proposed solutions, it is intended to obtain a document that administrators of cloud computing systems can use. This work points out which techniques apply to which problems, including the advantages and disadvantages of each technique, and facilitates the support process for these administrators in handling the failures. Finally, with the information obtained, a website will be generated to store some of this information. This virtual environment is a prototype of a recommendation environment for cloud fault tolerance. At first, the recommendation will occur through guided search so that administrators of cloud computing systems can have better conditions to handle failures in their environments
