Load Balancing Algorithms For Cloud Computing Environment

The Internet of things (IoT) is a new emerging technology from the last few years and growing day by day. IoT devices are the physical devices that are embedded with sensors, softwares, computing devices and electronics with the capabilities of sending and receiving data. IoT devices collect the data and send it to the cloud to get useful information. Cloud computing provides services like storage, infrastructure and softwares in IoT applications. As the number of customers increases day by day, the data generated by IoT applications also increases, which creates load on the cloud server. For efficient use of the cloud resources, it is very important to balance load on servers using different types of load balancing algorithms. This paper presents a detailed study on the different load balancing algorithms for cloud computing proposed in the literature.
