Abstract

Load Balancing is one of the most significant concepts in distributed environments. As Cloud Computing is considered to be one of the best platforms that gives storage of data at a minimal cost and is accessible all the time over the internet, load balancing for the cloud computing has turned into a very interesting and important study area. Load balancing aims at high user satisfaction and usage of resource ratio by guaranteeing a proficient and reasonable allocation of each computing resource. There are numerous difficulties in load balancing techniques such as security, fault tolerance etc which are prevalent in modern cloud computing environments. Many researchers have proposed several techniques to enhance load balancing and this paper too, portrays an overview on load balancing schemes in cloud environments. We explore the diverse types of algorithms that are proposed by a number of researchers to solve the problem of load balancing in cloud computing.
