LOAD BALANCING IN CLOUD COMPUTING

In recent years, Cloud Computing has been an emerging computing model in the IT industry. Clouds are high configured infrastructure that delivers platform, infrastructure, and software as a service, which helps customers to make subscription for their requirements under the pay as you go model.

Cloud computing opens up the world of computing to a broader range of uses and increases the ease of use by giving access to anything and anywhere through any internet connection.Load balancing is the major concern in the cloud computing environment. In recent years many clients from all over the world are demanding the various services at rapid rate. Many algorithms have been designed to carry out the client’s request towards the cloud nodes

.Accordingly the cloud computing platform will dynamically configure its servers and these servers may be present physically or virtually in the computing environment.

Hence, selecting the virtual machines or servers has to be scheduled properly by using an appropriate load balancing approach for effective resource utilization and minimum job response time .

Cloud Computing is the delivery of application software, platform and infrastructure as a service over the Internet accessible from the web browser, as well as software and data are residing on the servers on pay per use basis.

However, the main issue is to schedule the incoming requests efficiently with very low response time.

Many algorithms like Round Robin, Throttled, Equally spread current execution etc,Optimal load Balancing using dynamic management algorIthm,VM-Assign algorithm,Round Robin algorithm. have been widely used for executing the client’s request with a minimal response time .

Various tools are as follows: -
