The Internet has become a fundamental necessity of daily activity. It has a more significant impact on modernizing the digital world. Therefore, cloud computing has been one of the most promising technological advances in recent days. It aims to provide millions of consumers around the globe with smooth computing services. In workload distributions and system behavior, the cloud environment is extremely dynamic, leading to load imbalances across data center resources. Balancing load across the systems is a crucial component of cloud computing, avoiding some nodes' overloading while others have little or no work to do. The problem of load balancing in the cloud has been linked to a large amount of research, recognizing its role and impact. This paper bestows a thorough investigation of the new load balancing algorithms for the cloud environment. This study's primary focus is the concept of load balancing, a literature review on load balancing and task scheduling techniques, and different measurement parameters
