I- Introduction
Load Balancing is essential for efficient operations in distributed environments. As Cloud
Computing is growing rapidly and clients are demanding more services and better results, load
balancing for the Cloud has become a very interesting and important research area. Many
algorithms were suggested to provide efficient mechanisms and algorithms for assigning the
client’s requests to available Cloud nodes. These approaches aim to enhance the overall
performance of the Cloud and provide the user more satisfying and efficient services.
Cloud computing is a on-demand pay technology where the payment is made as per the
utilization of the service. Cloud Computing has been one of the current tools embraced by both
industry and academic. It provides a robustness and effectiveness to store and retrieve the
data[1]. The efficient and scalable features of cloud computing can achieve by maintaining
proper management of cloud resources. These cloud resources are in the virtual form which is
the most important characteristics of the cloud system [2]. Cloud computing gives virtual assets
and administrations with the goal of diminishing expense. Cloud computing is actualized and
famous generally because of its properties of giving virtualization and reflection. As cloud
computing is growing fastly and more services and better results are demanded by the clients, so
for the cloud, load balancing has become a very interesting and important research area.
The area of Cloud computing is getting more hot, at the same time, a more intensive task
waiting to be processed, how to allocate cloud tasks reasonably so that the nodes in the cloud
computing environment can have a balanced load become more critical, this task allocation
strategy is called load balancing. Load balancing has a significant influence on the performance
in cloud computing as load balancing aims to enhance resource consumption, get the most out of
throughput, reduce response time, and avoid overload of any single resource [3].Without
balancing load it is too much hard to manage this cloud computing.[4]
Cloud computing is emerging technology and next big step in the evolution of virtual
computing in the field of IT within last few years. It provides the scalability, flexibility, on
demand services and virtualization type of services over the internet to the user. There are
various types of loads in the cloud network such as memory load, Computation (CPU) load,
network load, etc. Load balancing is the mechanism of detecting overloaded and under loaded
nodes and then balance the load among them.
 Situations like underloaded and overloaded cause different system failure concerning the
power consumption, execution time, machine failure, etc. Therefore, load balancing is required
to overcome all mentioned problems.With recent beginning of technology, resource control or
load balancing in cloud computing is main challenging issue. Efficient load balancing scheme
ensures efficient resource utilization by provisioning of resource to cloud user’s on-demand basis
in pay-as-you-say-manner. Load balancing in the cloud computing environment has an important
impact on the performance. Good load balancing makes cloud computing more efficient and
improves user satisfaction.

II-PROBLEMS STATEMENT

new trend emerging in IT environment with huge requirements of infrastructure and resources;
so how to balance the huge tasks in this environment?Availability of cloud systems is one of the
