A COMPARATIVE SURVEY ON LOAD BALANCING ALGORITHMS IN CLOUD COMPUTING

Clouds are high configured infrastructure delivers platform, software as service, which helps customers to make subscription for their requirements under the pay as you go model. Cloud computing is spreading globally, due to its easy and simple service oriented model. The numbers of users accessing the cloud are rising day by day. Generally cloud is based on data centers which are powerful to handle large number of users. The reliability of clouds depends on the way it handles the loads, to overcome such problem clouds must be featured with the load balancing mechanism. The goal of balancing the load of virtual machines is to reduce energy consumption and provide maximum resource utilization thereby reducing the number of job rejections. This paper is a brief discussion on the existing load balancing techniques in cloud computing and further compares them based on various parameters like response time and Data processing time etc. The results discussed in this paper, based on existing Round Robin and Throttled scheduling algorithms.
