A Survey of Load Balancing Techniques in Cloud Computing

Load Balancing is the one of the most significant parts in distributed environments. As Cloud Computing is one of the best platform that gives storage of data in very minimal cost and accessible for all time over the internet, load balancing for the cloud computing has turned into a very interesting and important study area. Load balancing supports to get a high user satisfaction and usage of resource ratio by guaranteeing a proficient and reasonable allocation of each computing resource. There are numerous difficulties in the load balancing techniques such as security, fault tolerance etc. in cloud computing environments. Many researchers have been proposed several techniques to enhance the load balancing. This paper portrays an overview on load balancing schemes in cloud environments. We explore the diverse types of algorithms that is proposed by many researchers to solve the problem of load balancing in cloud computing.
