Virtual Machine Load Balancing: State-of-the-Art and its Research Challenges

Abstract

Cloud computing is the most demanding technologies in today's era due to the reduction of cost and complexity of applications, as a result number of users demanding more services of cloud. Thus, for overall cloud performance load balancing in the cloud is an important research area. Cloud handles large number of users as it is working on powerful datacenters. So for better efficiency it has to be featured with reliable load balancer for handling the load in the cloud. Many load balancing algorithms have been proposed for the better management of user request among cloud resources. This paper presents our research with a survey of various existing load balancing algorithms along with state of the art and its research challenges.
