Load Balancing in Cloud Computing : A Survey

Authors(2) :-M. Ramya, Dr. D. Ravindran

“CLOUD…..CLOUD …..” become the buzzwords for the research field. The cloud has been provided by the service providers like Microsoft, Google, Rackspace, and IBM. These services are given to the users for pay-per-use concept. The term “Cloud computing” was first coined after the thought that services and applications are deployed into the internet “cloud”. It is not the word something got instantly by one night; it has got by the ancestors of time sharing, web based systems, peer-to-peer networks. The cloud consumers can get all the benefits from the cloud service provider and whenever they don’t want the services they can relieve from it. Then the providers will measure the service and produce the charges based on the consumption. The cloud service providers are having the characteristics like rapid elasticity, measure service, security, extended network access, resource pooling. The services given to users can be affected by many issues like security, service level agreement, and multi-level tenancy. This paper gives the review on the load balancing concepts, what are the previous methods to balance the traffic, issues in load balancing and its types. This paper also reviews the various techniques in load balancing cloud environment.
