The cloud computing is a distributed internet based paradigm,
designed for remote sharing and usage of different resources and
services with high reliability over the large networks
Load balancing in cloud is to balancing load among resource
to obtain resource utilization, maximum throughput;
minimum response time and overhead should be avoided
Dynamic load balancing algorithms distribute the work
among processors during the execution of the algorithm
4
Literature review of different mechanisms and algorithms
proposed for load balancing in cloud computing.
To study the advantages and flaws of various load
balancing algorithms to identify the problem in load
balancing in cloud computing.
To propose more efficient algorithm for load
balancing to maximize performance, reliability,
scalability and stability in cloud computing.

• It may cause delays, compromised efficiency and less portability.
• There must be some comparison method to allocate resources on
priority basis.

• Self destroy messages might cause extra communication increasing
overhead.
• Simplicity, reliability and efficiency of the algorithm are affected if
communication overhead is not resolved.

Request
sequencing phase
User is the task request from the
clients to the cloud
Sequencer will sequence the task
requests from client so that task
waits in the queue for minimum
time period
Load
transferring phase
Load agent is responsible to
transfer the user request to theVM
in the cloud pool
Load Balancer will calculate the
used memory, CPU utilization and
response time of eachVM and
compare it with threshold value.

This work contributes in
two ways; first by providing
a sequencer ,incoming user
requests can be entertained
in more appropriate way.
second load balancer
calculate load status of all
VMs to transfer requested
task to normalVM more
efficiently.
Desired results can be
obtained
by implementing this
mechanism.

There is need to implement this work to get desired results
and to resolve more problems regarding load balancing.
Virtualization is the key concept of cloud computing, ifVMs are
located far from one another, there must be some mechanism
to minimize their service time.
More improved algorithms can be designed to provide more
reliability and scalability in load balancing in cloud computing.
