Abstract: Today’s cloud storage service become popular. In cloud environment , cloud service provider maintains multiple number of copies of data on multiple distributed servers. The main problem of using replication technique, achieving strong consistency is difficult. So we propose a novel consistency as a service model which contains a large data cloud maintained by cloud service provider and group of users that constitute audit cloud. Audit cloud verify that data cloud provides maximum level of consistency. Between data cloud and audit cloud there will be a service level agreement engaged. For verify consistency properties two level auditing structure is used here. For this it only required a loosely synchronized clock. To avoid inconsistency in the cloud environment, gossip protocol is used. Gossip is style of computer- to -computer communication protocol. Modern distributed system use gossip protocol to solve their problems that might be difficult to solve in other ways.
Keywords: Cloud Storage, Gossip Protocol, SLA.
