Abstract:
A computer-implemented method including: monitoring, by a computing device, transactions in a blockchain, wherein the transactions are associated with a set of data replicated across a plurality of component members in a distributed computing environment; determining, by the computing device, a status of each of the cloud component members based on the monitoring; determining, by the computing device, a discrepancy in the status between a first component member of the plurality of component members, and a second component member of the plurality of component members; resolving, by the computing device, the discrepancy in the status; and updating, by the computing device, the blockchain to reflect the resolved discrepancy.
