Abstract: Cloud computing is a prevailing paradigm of service oriented computing and has revolutionized the computing infrastructure in terms of abstraction and usage. But its model requires significant changes in data management systems due to the requirements on scalability, availability, performance and quality of service. Many researchers proposed database replication techniques to address these challenges. However, only a few existing solutions to database replication in the cloud are attacking the issues with elasticity and quality of service. In this paper, we concern about the problem of relational database replication in the cloud. We present Scalable Relational Database Cloud (SRDC), an approach that adopts database replication in the cloud with elasticity. Experiments with the popular benchmarks demonstrate that our approach is viable and has achieved scalability with strong consistency.
