Performance Analysis of Load Balancing Algorithms in Amazon Cloud

Cloud computing has vast impact in the field of parallel and distributed computing systems today. It enables a massive number of users to access virtualized hardware and software infrastructures with the help of the internet. Consequently, it produces huge traffic into cloud servers. The abrupt growth of this load leads to serious challenges for load balancer of cloud to work out efficiently. The function of load balancer is to distribute the heavy load on servers in cloud environment to obtain maximum utilization of resources by achieving maximum throughput and minimum response time. Various researches have been done to implement better load balancing algorithms to minimize load on servers, but all existing research work in this direction have been developed as an analytical approach in which performance analysis of load balancing algorithms have been performed or compared by creating servers in their systems. The future analysis of this research has been left to implement the load balancing algorithms in real environments. This paper demonstrates the performance analysis of two most popular load balancing algorithms i.e. Round Robin and Least Connections in Amazon Web Service cloud in real-time with the help of performance measuring tool Apache JMeter.
