Literature Review on Load Balancing Techniques

Abstract

In the cloud storage, Load balancing is one of the central issues in cloud computing. It is a mechanism that distributes the dynamic local workload evenly across all the nodes in the whole cloud to avoid a situation where some nodes are heavily loaded while others are idle or doing little work. It helps to achieve a high user satisfaction and resource utilization ratio, hence improving the overall performance and resource utility of the system. It also ensures that every computing resource is distributed efficiently and fairly. In cloud system the resources are distributed to all computer nodes fairly and in efficiently manner. If a node has extra workload as comparison of other nodes then we use load balancing techniques or process for transferring the extra load of nodes to others networks node. This paper provides literature review of various load balancing algorithms in cloud computing.
