Nature-Inspired optimization algorithms for enhanced load balancing in cloud computing: A comprehensive review with taxonomy, comparative analysis, and future trends
Cloud computing ensures scalable, on-demand resource provisioning, yet efficient load balancing remains a challenge. Traditional methods often fail under dynamic workloads, prompting interest in nature-inspired optimization algorithms (NIOAs). This review examines 47 NIOAs applied to cloud load balancing, covering their principles, adaptations, and performance. A novel taxonomy classifies these algorithms across ten dimensions, supported by a decade-long literature survey (2014–2024). Comparative analyses and a simulation-based case study highlight their strengths, limitations, and applicability. Charts, graphs, and tables are used to clearly visualize and compare the results. The study identifies research gaps and offers recommendations, underscoring NIOAs’ potential for enhancing cloud performance.
