Abstract
A device may receive information associated with a write operation to be performed on a storage volume included in a cloud computing environment, and may divide the information into a group of write frames. Each write frame may include a respective portion of the information. The device may determine information that identifies members of a replication set associated with the storage volume. The device may provide each write frame to each member. The device may receive a reply frame, associated with a write frame, from a member. The device may determine that the reply frame is a last reply frame associated with the write frame and may modify source information to form a modified reply frame. The device may provide the modified reply frame. The modified reply frame may be provided to indicate that the portion of the write operation, associated with the write frame, has been successfully performed.
