Load Balancing in Cloud Computing

Samarsinh Prakash Jadhav | Priya R. Deshpande

Abstract: Cloud computing is the next generation of computation. Possibly people can have everything they need on the cloud. Cloud computing provides resources to client on demand. The resources may be software resources or hardware resources. Cloud computing architectures are distributed; parallel and serve the needs of multiple clients in different scenarios. This distributed architecture deploys resources distributive to deliver services efficiently to users in different geographical channels. Clients in a distributed environment generate request randomly in any processor. So the major drawback of this randomness is associated with task assignment. The unequal task assignment to the processor creates imbalance i. e. ; some of the processors are overloaded and some of them are under loaded. The objective of load balancing is to transfer the load from overloaded process to under loaded process transparently. Load balancing is one of the central issues in cloud computing. To achieve high performance; minimum response time and high resource utilization ratio we need to transfer the tasks between nodes in cloud network. Load balancing technique is used to distribute tasks from over loaded nodes to under loaded or idle nodes. In following sections we are discuss about cloud computing; load balancing techniques and the proposed work of our load balancing system.
