LOAD BALANCING ISSUES AND ITS SOLUTION IN CLOUD COMPUTING: A REVIEW

Abstract

Cloud computing is an emerging paradigm in the computer industry where the computing is moved to a cloud of computers. Cloud computing is a way to increase the capacity or add capabilities dynamically without investing in new infrastructure, training new personnel, or licensing new software. This paper is focused on the load balancing issues of cloud computing and techniques to overcome the waiting time and turnaround time. Load Balancing is done with the help of load balancers where each incoming request is redirected and is transparent to client who makes the request. Based on predetermined parameters, such as availability or current load, the load balancer uses various scheduling algorithm to determine which server should handle and forwards the request on to the selected server.
