The reliability of the distributed system has been an important topic of research. Agreement protocols, which allow the correct nodes to agree on a common value, have been brought up to aid the reliable execution of tasks. In previous works, fully connected networks, generalized connected networks or multicastinge components were proposed to solve the agreement problem. Recently, a new concept of distributed computing, cloud computing, is proposed to provide several services. The cloud computing that can make more application for user from the internet. Unfortunately, existing agreement problem and results cannot cope with the new computing environment and the agreement problem thus needs to be revisited. In this paper, a new protocol is proposed to adapt to the cloud computing environment and derive its bound of allowable faulty components.
