A Survey on Load Balancing Techniques in Cloud Computing

In cloud computing, load balancing Is one of the key issues. Load Is a measure of the amount of work that a computation system performs which can be classified as CPU load, memory capacity and network load. Load balancing is the process of apportioning the load among various nodes of a distributed system to improve both resource utilization and job response time. Load balancing ensures that every node in the network does approximately equal amount of work (as per the its capacity) at any instant of time. This paper discusses the existing load balancing algorithms in a cloud based environment. Load Balancing is an important aspect of cloud computing environment.
