Sushil Kumar, Deepak Singh Rana . Various Dynamic Load Balancing Algorithms in Cloud Environment: A Survey. International Journal of Computer Applications. 129, 6 ( November 2015), 14-19. DOI=10.5120/ijca2015906927
Cloud computing is emerging as a new standard model for enabling ubiquitous network access, computing resources, deploying, organizing, and accessing vast distributed computing applications over the network. In cloud computing, Load balancing is one of the main challenges which are required to distribute the workload equally across all the nodes. Load balancing uses services offered by many computer network service provider corporations. Load balancing can be different types like network load, storage capacity, memory capacity and CPU load. Load balancing helps to achieve a high user satisfaction and resource utilization ratio by confirming an efficient and fair allocation of every computing resource. Proper load balancing support in implementing failover, enabling scalability, over-provisioning, and decreases costs associated with document management systems and maximizes the availability of resources. This paper describes a survey of different dynamic load balancing algorithms in the cloud environment with their comparisons on the bases of different load balancing metrics.
