Performance analysis of cloud based load balancing techniques

Abstract

Cloud computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction. In cloud computing, load balancing is one of the key issues. Load balancing is the process of apportioning the load among various nodes of a distributed system to improve both resource utilization and job response time while avoiding a situation where some of the nodes are heavily loaded while others are idle. This paper outlines an experimentation based comparative analysis of the load balancing algorithms for different scenario use cases.
