Authors(3) :-Nikhit Pawar, Prof. Umesh Kumar Lilhore, Prof. Nitin Agrawal

Cloud computing is an innovative technology which is based on virtualization. It is a new name of existing technology. Cloud computing mainly serves computing resources as a service to cloud users. This Computing is not only about the hard drives were storing and accessing can be done but it is latest computing paradigm and it offers tremendous opportunities to solve the large-scale scientific problem. To fully exploit the applications of cloud, various challenges need to be addressed where scheduling is one among them. In cloud computing, optimum utilization of computing resources are always challenging. A cloud service provider ensures to serve computing resources efficiently to cloud user at optimum cost. Load balancing methods play a vital role in the efficient utilization of computing resources. A load balancing algorithm migrates an overloaded VMs task to an under the loaded machine, with disturbing the existing environment. Different load balancing methods are suggested by cloud researchers. Still, an efficient load balancing method is required. This research paper presents a review of various load balancing method in cloud computing. Also, a comparative analysis has been presented based on various performance measuring parameters.
