Web traffic is highly jittery and unpredictable. Load balancer plays a significant role in mitigating the uncertainty in web environments. With the growing adoption of cloud computing infrastructure, software load balancer becomes more common in recent years. Current load balancer services distribute the network requests based on the number of network connections to the backend servers. However, the load balancing algorithm fails to work when other resources such as CPU or memory in a backend server saturates. We experimented and discussed the resilience evaluation and enhancement of container-based software load balancer services in cloud computing environments. We proposed a pluggable framework that can dynamically adjust the weight assigned to each backend server based on real-time monitoring metrics.

<span lang="EN-US">Load balancing is crucial to ensure scalability, reliability, minimize response time, and processing time and maximize resource utilization in cloud computing. However, the load fluctuation accompanied with the distribution of a huge number of requests among a set of virtual machines (VMs) is challenging and needs effective and practical load balancers. In this work, a two listed throttled load balancer (TLT-LB) algorithm is proposed and further simulated using the CloudAnalyst simulator. The TLT-LB algorithm is based on the modification of the conventional TLB algorithm to improve the distribution of the tasks between different VMs. The performance of the TLT-LB algorithm compared to the TLB, round robin (RR), and active monitoring load balancer (AMLB) algorithms has been evaluated using two different configurations. Interestingly, the TLT-LB significantly balances the load between the VMs by reducing the loading gap between the heaviest loaded and the lightest loaded VMs to be 6.45% compared to 68.55% for the TLB and AMLB algorithms. Furthermore, the TLT-LB algorithm considerably reduces the average response time and processing time compared to the TLB, RR, and AMLB algorithms.</span>

As the size of the cloud-based applications and its tasks are increasing exponentially, it is necessary to estimate the load balancing metrics in the real-time cloud computing environments. Hybrid load balancing framework play a vital role in the cloud-based applications and tasks monitoring and resource allocation. Most of the conventional load balancing metrics are dependent on limited number of cloud metrics and type of virtual machines. Also, these models require high computational memory and time on large number of tasks. In this paper, an advanced multi-level statistical load balancer-based parameters estimation model is designed and implemented on the real-time cloud computing environment. In this model, a novel statistical load balancing data collector is used to find the best metrics for the load balance computation. In this model, different types of tasks are simulated under different virtual machine types such as small, medium and large instances. Experimental results show that the proposed multi-level based statistical load balancing collector has better efficiency than the conventional models in terms of memory utilization, CPU utilization, runtime and reliability are concerned.

Cloud computing is an emerging paradigm in the computer industry where the computing is moved to a cloud of computers. Cloud computing is a way to increase the capacity or add capabilities dynamically without investing in new infrastructure, training new personnel, or licensing new software. This paper is focused on the load balancing issues of cloud computing and techniques to overcome the waiting time and turnaround time. Load Balancing is done with the help of load balancers where each incoming request is redirected and is transparent to client who makes the request. Based on predetermined parameters, such as availability or current load, the load balancer uses various scheduling algorithm to determine which server should handle and forwards the request on to the selected server.

Load Balancing Algorithm

As current data centers and servers are growing in size by orders of magnitude when needed, load balancing is a great concern in scalable computing systems, including mobile edge cloud computing environments. In mobile edge cloud computing systems, a mobile user can offload its tasks to nearby edge servers to support real-time applications. However, when users are located in a hot spot, several edge servers can be overloaded due to suddenly offloaded tasks from mobile users. In this paper, we present a load balancing algorithm for mobile devices in edge cloud computing environments. The proposed load balancing technique features an efficient complexity by a graph coloring-based implementation based on a genetic algorithm. The aim of the proposed load balancing algorithm is to distribute offloaded tasks to nearby edge servers in an efficient way. Performance results show that the proposed load balancing algorithm outperforms previous techniques and increases the average CPU usage of virtual machines, which indicates a high utilization of edge servers.

Emerging cloud computing technology is a big step in virtual computing. Cloud computing provides services to clients through the internet. Cloud computing enables easy access to resources distributed all over the world. Increase in the number of the population has further increased the challenge. The main challenge of cloud computing technology is to achieve efficient load balancing. Load balancing is a process of assigning load to available resources in such a way that it avoids overloading of resources. If load balancing is performed efficiently, it improves QoS metric including cost, throughput, response time, resource utilization and performance. Efficient load balancing techniques also provide better user satisfaction. Various load balancing algorithms are used in different scenarios for ensuring the same. In the current research, we will study different algorithms for load balancing and benefits and limitations caused to the system due to the algorithms. In this paper, we will compare static and dynamic load balancing algorithms for various measures of efficiency. These will be useful for future research in the concerned field.
