Implementation of Novel Load Balancing Technique in Cloud Computing Environmen

Abstract

Spectacular benefits of virtualization and cloud computing technologies have stimulated the Information and Communication Technology sector towards adopting cloud computing. Various ICT-enabled service providers also have either adopted cloud computing or started migrating services to cloud infrastructure. However, the increasing demand for cloud based infrastructure has resulted into severe problem of resource management and load balancing for cloud service providers and consumers. Researchers have suggested various load balancing techniques for efficient resource utilization in cloud. A novel load balancing technique representing relocation of workload from overloaded VM to lightly loaded VM in cloud computing environment is presented in this paper. An attempt is made to help the cloud stake holders to overcome the imbalanced resource utilization problem is presented in this paper. The approach presented here is also useful during disaster management for safeguarding end-user applications and thereby assisting upholding cloud services.
