Load Balancing of Tasks in Cloud Computing Environment Using Honey Bee Behavior

A cloud is built up of numerous physical machines and stores the data and disseminated resources in the open environment. Every physical machine runs multiple virtual machines for providing services to end users .Load balancing is one of the main challenges in cloud computing which is required to distribute the dynamic workload across multiple virtual machines(VMs) to ensure that no single virtual machine is overloaded and no single virtual machine is under loaded. The load has to be balanced to achieve optimal utilization .In this paper we proposed a method to achieve well balanced load across virtual machines for maximizing the throughput using honey bee foraging behavior. The experimental results show that our approach illustrates that there is a significant improvement in average execution time and reduction time in waiting time of tasks in queue
