A Comparative Analysis on Load Balancing Algorithms in Cloud Computing

Abstract

Cloud computing is one of device technology now a days for providing everything as a services to the cloud users. Cloud computing is a specific style of computing where everything from computing power to infrastructure, business apps are provided as a service. It mainly refers to applications and services that run on distributed network using virtualized resources and accessed by common internet standards. The basic principle of cloud computing is that user data is not stored locally but is stored in the data center of internet. The allocation of the group of resources may start a problem of availability of these resources and distributing the workload of all the VMs among themselves called as load balancing. As the numbers of users are increasing on the cloud, the load balancing has become the challenge for the cloud provider. Load balancing is a main issue in cloud environment. It helps in proper utilization of resources .It also improves the performance of the system. This paper is a brief discussion on the existing load balancing algorithms in cloud computing and further compares them based on various parameters like maximum completion time that is Makespan and resources utilization. This paper analyses the result based on existing load balancing algorithms like virtual machine random load balancing VMARLB, Priority based virtual machine load balancing algorithm PBVMLBA and EVMLBA algorithms.
