Review on Load Balancing Techniques in Cloud Computing Environment

Sukhvir Kaur ^[7] | Supriya Kinger ^[3]

Abstract: Cloud computing is a fast growing area in computing research and industry today. Three main services provided by the cloud are IaaS; SaaS; and PaaS. With the advancement of the Cloud; there are new possibilities opening up on how applications can be built and how different services can be offered to the end user through Virtualization; on the internet. There are the cloud services providers who provide large scaled computing infrastructures defined on usage; and provide the infrastructure services in a very flexible manner. The establishment of an effective load balancing algorithm and how to use Cloud computing resources efficiently for effective and efficient cloud computing is one of the Clouds computing service providers ultimate goals. Cloud computing has critical issue like security; load manager; fault tolerance. In this paper we are discussing the Load Balancing Approach. Many types of load concern with cloud like memory load; CPU load; and network load. Load balancing is the process of distributing the load over the different nodes which provides the good resource utilization when nodes are overloaded with job. Load balancing has to handle the load when the one node is overloaded. When the node is overloaded at that time load is distributed over the other ideal nodes. Many algorithms are available for load balancing like static load balancing and dynamic load balancing This paper presents a review of a few load balancing algorithms or technique in cloud computing and their corresponding advantages; disadvantages and performance metrics are studied in detail.
