Abstract

Cloud Computing is universally accepted as the most intensifying field in web technologies today. With the increasing popularity of the cloud, popular website2019;s servers are getting overloaded with high request load by users. One of the main challenges in cloud computing is Load Balancing on servers. Load balancing is the procedure of sharing the load between multiple processors in a distributed environment to minimize the turnaround time taken by the servers to cater service requests and make better utilization of the available resources. It greatly helps in scenarios where there is misbalance of workload on the servers as some machines may get heavily loaded while others remain under-loaded or idle. Load balancing methods make sure that every VM or server in the network holds workload equilibrium and load as per their capacity at any instance of time. Static and Dynamic load balancing are main techniques for balancing load on servers. This paper presents a brief discussion on different load balancing schemes and comparison between prime techniques.
