Cloud Load Balancing using Round Robin and Shortest Cloudlet First Algorithms

Load balancing in the cloud-computing environment has an important impact on the performance. Good load balancing makes cloud computing more efficient and improves user satisfaction. A better load balance model for the cloud based on the cloud-partitioning concept with a switch mechanism to choose different strategies for different situations. Two type of load balancer used in cloud computing first is static load balancer in which number of recourse, cloudlet, VM, and data centre are fixed, second is dynamic load balancer in which number of recourse, cloudlet, VM, and data centre are changed at run time. There are many load balancing algorithms such as FCFS, Round Robin and Priority based. In This paper we used combination of Round Robin and Shortest cloudlet First algorithm. Combination improved efficiency and performance of load balancing in cloud computing environment. We implement proposed algorithm with the help of CloudSim 3.0 under VM scheduling policies.
