Performance Comparison of Different Load Balancing Algorithms in Cloud Computing

Abstract

Cloud computing offers economical, scalable, and instantaneous computing resources to enterprises, allowing them to manage substantial traffic volumes and cater to a multitude of users. But the need for effective load balancing techniques has grown significantly as cloud computing becomes more and more popular. To guarantee the best possible performance, availability, and dependability of apps and services, load balancing is a crucial component of cloud computing. This paper offers a comparative study of different cloud computing technologies and load balancing strategies. We present a performance comparison of software-based load balancing; our analysis compares various service broker policies, such as closest distance, optimized, and reconfigurable, with algorithms such as round robin, throttled, and equally spread. Overall, this paper helps readers understand load balancing mechanisms in cloud computing.
