Cloud computing is the latest trend in large-scale distributed computing. It provides diverse services on demand to distributive resources such asservers, software, and databases. One of the challenging problems in cloud data centers is to manage the load of different reconfigurable virtual machines over one another. Thus, in the near future of cloud computing field, providing a mechanism for efficient resource management will be very significant. Many load balancing algorithms have been already implemented and executed to manage the resources efficiently and adequately. The objective of this paper is to analyze shortcomings of existing algorithms and implement a new algorithm which will give optimized load balancingresult.

The recent growth in demand for modern applicationscombined with the shift to the Cloud computing paradigm have led to the establishment of large-scale cloud data centers. The increasing size of these infrastructures represents a major challenge in terms of monitoring and management of the system resources. Available solutions typically consider every Virtual Machine (VM) as a black box each with independent characteristics, and face scalability issues by reducing the number of monitored resource samples, considering in most cases only average CPU usage sampled at a coarse time granularity. We claim that scalability issues can be addressed by leveraging thesimilarity between VMs in terms of resource usage patterns.In this paper we propose an automated methodology to cluster VMs depending on the usage of multiple resources, both systemand network-related, assuming no knowledge of the services executed on them. This is an innovative methodology that exploits the correlation between the resource usage to cluster together similar VMs. We evaluate the methodology through a case study with data coming from an enterprise datacenter, and we show that high performance may be achieved in automatic VMs clustering. Furthermore, we estimate the reduction in the amount of data collected, thus showing that our proposal may simplify the monitoring requirements and help administrators totake decisions on the resource management of cloud computing datacenters.

With the rapid growth of energy consumption in global data centers and IT systems, energy optimization has become an important issue to be solved in cloud data center. By introducing heterogeneous energy constraints of heterogeneous physical servers in cloud computing, an energy-efficient resource scheduling model for heterogeneous physical servers based on constraint satisfaction problems is presented. The method of model solving based on resource equivalence optimization is proposed, in which the resources in the same class are pruning treatment when allocating resource so as to reduce the solution space of the resource allocation model and speed up the model solution. Experimental results show that, compared with DynamicPower and MinPM, the proposed algorithm (EqPower) not only improves the performance of resource allocation, but also reduces energy consumption of cloud data center.

Cloud computing is a vigorous technology by which a user can get software, application, operating system and hardware as a service without actually possessing it and paying only according to the usage. Cloud Computing is a hot topic of research for the researchers these days. With the rapid growth of Interne technology cloud computing have become main source of computing for small as well big IT companies. In the cloud computing milieu the cloud data centers and the users of the cloud-computing are globally situated, therefore it is a big challenge for cloud data centers to efficiently handle the requests which are coming from millions of users and service them in an efficient manner. Load balancing is a critical aspect that ensures that all the resources and entities are well balanced such that no resource or entity neither is under loaded nor overloaded. The load balancing algorithms can be static or dynamic.  Load balancing in this environment means equal distribution of workload across all the nodes. Load balancing provides a way of achieving the proper utilization of resources and better user satisfaction. Hence, use of an appropriate load balancing algorithm is necessary for selecting the virtual machines or servers. This paper focuses on the load balancing algorithm which distributes the incoming jobs among VMs optimally in cloud data centers. In this paper, we have reviewed several existing load balancing mechanisms and we have tried to address the problems associated with them.

Cloud computing is a rapidly growing technology that has been implemented in various fields in recent years, such as business, research, industry, and computing. Cloud computing provides different services over the internet, thus eliminating the need for personalized hardware and other resources. Cloud computing environments face some challenges in terms of resource utilization, energy efficiency, heterogeneous resources, etc. Tasks scheduling and virtual machines (VMs) are used as consolidation techniques in order to tackle these issues. Tasks scheduling has been extensively studied in the literature. The problem has been studied with different parameters and objectives. In this article, we address the problem of energy consumption and efficient resource utilization in virtualized cloud data centers. The proposed algorithm is based on task classification and thresholds for efficient scheduling and better resource utilization. In the first phase, workflow tasks are pre-processed to avoid bottlenecks by placing tasks with more dependencies and long execution times in separate queues. In the next step, tasks are classified based on the intensities of the required resources. Finally, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is used to select the best schedules. Experiments were performed to validate the proposed technique. Comparative results obtained on benchmark datasets are presented. The results show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm over that of the other algorithms to which it was compared in terms of energy consumption, makespan, and load balancing.

In the cloud computing milieu the cloud data centers and the users of the cloud-computing are globally situated, therefore it is a big challenge for cloud data centers to efficiently handle the requests which are coming from millions of users and service them in an efficient manner. Load balancing ensures that no single node will be overloaded and used to distribute workload among multiple nodes. It helps to improve system performance and proper utilization of resources. We propose an improved load balancing algorithm for job scheduling in the cloud environment using K-Means clustering of cloudlets and virtual machines in the cloud environment. All the cloudlets given by the user are divided into 3 clusters depending upon client’s priority, cost and instruction length of the cloudlet. The virtual machines inside the datacenter hosts are also grouped into multiple clusters depending upon virtual machine capacity in terms of processor, memory, and bandwidth. Sorting is applied at both the ends to reduce the latency. Multiple number of experiments have been conducted by taking different configurations of cloudlets and virtual machine. Various parameters like waiting time, execution time, turnaround time and the usage cost have been computed inside the cloudsim environment to demonstrate the results. Compared with the other job scheduling algorithms, the improved load balancing algorithm can outperform them according to the experimental results.

In the cloud computing milieu the cloud data centers and the users of the cloud-computing are globally situated, therefore it is a big challenge for cloud data centers to efficiently handle the requests which are coming from millions of users and service them in an efficient manner.Cloud computing is Internet based development and use of computer technology. It is a style of computing in which dynamically scalable and often virtualized resources are provided as a service over the Internet. Users need not have knowledge of, expertise in, or control over the technology infrastructure "in the cloud" that supports them. Scheduling is one of the core steps to efficiently exploit the capabilities of heterogeneous computing systems. On cloud computing platform, load balancing of the entire system can be  dynamically handled  by  using  virtualization  technology through which it  becomes  possible  to  remap  virtual  machine  and physical resources  according  to  the  change  in  load. However, in order to improve performance, the virtual machines have to fully utilize its resources and services by adapting to computing environment dynamically.  The  load balancing  with  proper  allocation  of  resources  must  be guaranteed  in  order  to  improve  resource  utility.  Load balancing is a critical aspect that ensures that all the resources and entities are well balanced such that no resource or entity neither is under loaded nor overloaded. The load balancing algorithms can be static or dynamic.  Load balancing in this environment means equal distribution of workload across all the nodes.

Cloud computing environment is regarded as a kind of multi-tenant computing mode. With virtulization as a support technology, cloud computing realizes the integration of multiple workloads in one server through the package and seperation of virtual machines. Aiming at the contradiction between the heterogeneous applications and uniform shared resource pool, using the idea of bin packing, the multidimensional resource scheduling problem is analyzed in this paper. We carry out some example analysis in one-dimensional resource scheduling, two-dimensional resource schduling and three-dimensional resource scheduling. The results shows that the resource utilization of cloud data centers will be improved greatly when the resource sheduling is conducted after reorganizing rationally the heterogeneous demands.

Load Balancing Algorithm

To scale back the energy consumption, this paper proposed three algorithms: The first one is identifying the load balancing factors and redistribute the load. The second one is finding out the most suitable server to assigning the task to the server, achieved by most efficient first fit algorithm (MEFFA), and the third algorithm is processing the task in the server in an efficient way by energy efficient virtual round robin (EEVRR) scheduling algorithm with FAT tree topology architecture. This EEVRR algorithm improves the quality of service via sending the task scheduling performance and cutting the delay in cloud data centers. It increases the energy efficiency by achieving the quality of service (QOS).
