Cloud Computing is an ever growing area in information technology. It is internet based technology which emphasizes its utility and follows pay-as-you-go model. It is at present turning into the favoured strategy for communication and computation over scalable networks because of various attractive qualities such as high accessibility, adaptability, scalability, simplicity of management, fault tolerance and minimal effort of possession. The data processing and storage volume is increasing rapidly in cloud environment, which prompts an uneven dissemination of overall work on cloud resources. So a legitimate balance of overall load balancing over the available resources is a major issue in cloud computing paradigm. It is a technique which uses multiple nodes and distributes dynamic workload among them so that no single node is overloaded. It enhances system performance and legitimate utilization of resources. It also limits the time and cost engaged with such huge computing models. Load balancing and better resource utilization is provided by many existing algorithms. This paper explores the various load balancing algorithms related to the cloud.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
