Hybrid deep learning and optimized clustering mechanism for load balancing and fault tolerance in cloud computing

Abstract

ABSTRACT Cloud services are one of the most quickly developing technologies. Furthermore, load balancing is recognized as a fundamental challenge for achieving energy efficiency. The primary function of load balancing is to deliver optimal services by releasing the load over multiple resources. Fault tolerance is being used to improve the reliability and accessibility of the network. In this paper, a hybrid Deep Learning-based load balancing algorithm is developed. Initially, tasks are allocated to all VMs in a round-robin method. Furthermore, the Deep Embedding Cluster (DEC) utilizes the Central Processing Unit (CPU), bandwidth, memory, processing elements, and frequency scaling factors while determining if a VM is overloaded or underloaded. The task performed on the overloaded VM is valued and the tasks accomplished on the overloaded VM are assigned to the underloaded VM for cloud load balancing. In addition, the Deep Q Recurrent Neural Network (DQRNN) is proposed to balance the load based on numerous factors such as supply, demand, capacity, load, resource utilization, and fault tolerance. Furthermore, the effectiveness of this model is assessed by load, capacity, resource consumption, and success rate, with ideal values of 0.147, 0.726, 0.527, and 0.895 are achieved.
