A Survey on Load Balancing Algorithms

Cloud computing is referred to as biggest technology of today’s environment that provide access to distributed resources on the basis of pay-per-use. Everyone try to use cloud to reduce the cost and maintenance of infrastructure due to which lots of load is increasing day by day. Therefore, there is need to balance that load since resources of cloud are limited but usage is increasing at every moment. This paper discuss how the resources are allocated and how the tasks are scheduled among those resources. Task scheduling mainly focuses on enhancing the utilization of resources and hence reduction in response time. There are various static and dynamic load balancing algorithms to balance the load, this paper discusses comparative study of these algorithms.
