Load Balancing Algorithm

Cloud load balancing is done to persist the services in the cloud environment along with quality of service (QoS) parameters. An efficient load balancing algorithm should be based on better optimization of these QoS parameters which results in efficient scheduling. Most of the load balancing algorithms which exist consider response time or resource utilization constraints but an efficient algorithm must consider both perspectives from the user side and cloud service provider side. This article presents a load balancing strategy that efficiently allocates tasks to virtualized resources to get maximum resource utilization in minimum response time. The proposed approach, join minimum loaded queue (JMLQ), is based on the existing join idle queue (JIQ) model that has been modified by replacing idle servers in the I-queues with servers having one task in execution list. The results of simulation in CloudSim verify that the proposed approach efficiently maximizes resource utilization by reducing the response time in comparison to its other variants.

With the advent of cloud computing, the affinity between business and technology had increased manifold, allowing users to access IT resources at their convenience through the pay-per-use scheme. With such huge demand surging day to day, the cloud environment must cater to the user requirements flawlessly and also should be rewarding to the providers of cloud service. To maintain its high level of efficiency, there are several challenges that the cloud environment should tackle. One amongst those challenges is the balancing of load. It is one of the primary features of cloud computing that focuses on avoiding the overloading of nodes where there may be idle nodes or nodes with lesser load present at the same juncture. By keeping an effective check on the load several the Quality of Service (QoS) parameters including response time, throughput, resource utilization, energy consumption, cost etc., can be improved, adding to better performance of the entire cloud environment. Even distribution of load among datacenters will contribute to optimal energy consumption and keeps a check on carbon emissions. In this paper we have presented a methodical review on literature pertaining to load balancing strategies that had been proposed in the cloud environment. We had made in-depth analyses of available load balancing techniques and had come up with their advantages, limitations along with the challenges to be addressed by researchers for developing efficient load balancing strategies in the near future.

Cloud computing is defined as the resource that can be delivered or accessed by the local host from the remote server via the internet. Cloud providers typically use a "pay-as-you-go" model. The evolution of cloud computing has led to the evolution of modern environment due to abundance and advancement of computing and communication infrastructure. During user request, and system response generation, an amount load will be assigned in the cloud computing, where it may be over or under load. Due to heavy load, power consumption and energy management problems are created, and it makes system failure and lead data loss. Though, an efficient load balancing method is compulsory to overcome all mentioned problems. The objective of this work is to develop a metaheuristic load balancing algorithm to migrate multi-server for load balancing and machine learning techniques is used to increase the cloud resource utilization and minimize the make-span time of the task. Using an unsupervised machine learning technique, it is possible to predict the correct response time and waiting time of the servers by getting the prior knowledge about the virtual machines and its clusters. And this work involves to calculate the accuracy rate of the Round-Robin load balancing algorithm and then compared it with a proposed algorithm.

Load Balancing Algorithm

Cloud computing is distributed computing, storing, sharing and accessing data over the Internet. It provides a pool of shared resources to the users available on the basis of pay as you go service that means users pay only for those services which are used by him according to their access times. This research work deals with the balancing of work load in cloud environment. Load balancing is one of the essential factors to enhance the working performance of the cloud service provider. It would consume a lot of cost to maintain load information, since the system is too huge to timely disperse load. Load balancing is one of the main challenges in cloud computing which is required to distribute the dynamic workload across multiple nodes to ensure that no single node is overwhelmed. It helps in optimal utilization of resources and hence in enhancing the performance of the system. We propose an improved load balancing algorithm for job scheduling in the cloud environment using load distribution table in which the current status, current package, VM Capacity and the number of cloudlets submitted to each and every virtual machine will be stored. Submit the job of the user to the datacenter broker. Data center broker will first find the suitable Vm according to the requirements of the cloudlet and will match and find the most suitable Vm according to its availability or the machine with least load in the distribution table. 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. The main contributions of the research work is to balance the entire system load while trying to minimize the make span of a given set of jobs. Compared with the other job scheduling algorithms, the improved load balancing algorithm can outperform them according to the experimental results.

Nowadays, many business organizations are operating on the cloud environment in order to diminish their operating costs and to select the best service from many cloud providers. The increasing number of Cloud Services available on the market encourages the cloud consumer to be conscious in selecting the most apt Cloud Service Provider that satisfies functionality, as well as QoS parameters. Many disciplines of computer-based applications use standardized ontology to represent information in their fields that indicate the necessity of an ontology-based representation. The proposed generic model can help service consumers to identify QoS parameters interrelations in the cloud services selection ontology during run-time, and for service providers to enhance their business by interpreting the various relations. The ontology has been developed using the intended attributes of QoS from various service providers. A generic model has been developed and it is tested with the developed ontology.

Cloud computing has become a practical solution for processing big data. Cloud service providers have heterogeneous resources and offer a wide range of services with various processing capabilities. Typically, cloud users set preferences when working on a cloud platform. Some users tend to prefer the cheapest services for the given tasks, whereas other users prefer solutions that ensure the shortest response time or seek solutions that produce services ensuring an acceptable response time at a reasonable cost. The main responsibility of the cloud service broker is identifying the best data centre to be used for processing user requests. Therefore, to maintain a high level of quality of service, it is necessity to develop a service broker policy that is capable of selecting the best data centre, taking into consideration user preferences (e.g. cost, response time). This paper proposes an efficient and cost-effective plan for a service broker policy in a cloud environment based on the concept of VIKOR. The proposed solution relies on a multi-criteria decision-making technique aimed at generating an optimized solution that incorporates user preferences. The simulation results show that the proposed policy outperforms most recent policies designed for the cloud environment in many aspects, including processing time, response time, and processing cost.

Load Balancing Algorithm

Recently cloud computing technology has been implemented by many companies. This technology requires a really high reliability that closely related to hardware specification and management resource quality used. Adequate hardware would make resource allocation easier. On the other hand, resource allocation will be harder if the resources are limited. This is a common condition in a developing cloud service provider. In this paper, a load balancing algorithm to allocate resources in cloud computing environment that has limited resources has been proposed. This algorithm is developed by taking the advantages of the existing algorithms, Equally Spread Current Execution and Throttled. We merge those algorithm without losing the advantages and we try to eliminate the shortcoming of each algorithm. The result shows that this algorithm is able to give a significant improvement in the limited resources environment. In addition, the algorithm also able to compete with the other algorithm in the more adequate resource environment. Based on the consistent results, this algorithm is expected to be more adaptive in different resources environment.

Security Issues

Cloud is considered as future of Information Technology. User can utilized the cloud on pay-as-you use basis. But many organizations are stringent about the adoption of cloud computing due to their concern regarding the security of the stored data. Therefore, issues related to security of data in the cloud have become very vital. Data security involves encrypting the data and ensuring that suitable policies are imposed for sharing those data. There are several data security issues which need to be addressed. These issues are: data integrity, data intrusion, service availability, confidentiality and non-repudiation. Many schemes have been proposed for ensuring data security in cloud environment. But the existing schemes lag in fulfilling all these data security issues. In this chapter, a new Third Party Auditor based scheme has been proposed for secured storage and retrieval of client's data to and from the cloud service provider. The scheme has been analysed and compared with some of the existing schemes with respect to the security issues. From the analysis and comparison it can be observed that the proposed scheme performs better than the existing schemes.

The problem of load balancing in cloud environment has been approached by different scheduling algorithms. Still the performance of cloud environment has not been met to the point and to overcome these issues, we propose a naval ADS (Availability-Distribution-Span) Scheduling method to perform load balancing as well as scheduling the resources of cloud environment. The method performs scheduling and load balancing in on demand nature and takes dynamic actions to fulfill the request of users. At the time of request, the method identifies set of resources required by the process and computes Availability Factor, Distributional Factor and Span Time factor for each of the resource available. Based on all these factors computed, the method schedules the requests to be processed in least span time. The proposed method produces efficient result on scheduling as well as load balancing to improve the performance of resource utilization in the cloud environment.
