Utilizing Round Robin Concept for Load Balancing Algorithm at Virtual Machine Level in Cloud Environment

Abstract

ABSTRACT Day by Day increasing traffic on internet introduces the requirement of load balancing concept to get the most utilization of the resources available on Cloud. There are so many complex calculations and concepts implemented to achieve better and better resource utilization and performance. Out of all this complexity the Rounrobin algorithm provide the simplest solution for load balancing in cloud environment. So we are going to use roun robin as a base algorithm and propose an improved version of load balancing algorithm in the paper. General Terms Cloud load balancing, Round robin algorithm. Keywords Round robin, Load balancing, Virtual machine balancing, Cloud Analyst. 1. INTRODUCTION Current cloud computing environment serves in almost every field of our life. But while fulfilling lots and lots of user requests it faces few limitations to be overcome. Along with providing us facilities like virtualization, resource sharing, ubiquity, utility computing it ask us to focus on issues like security, authentication, fault tolerance, load balancing, and availability. Lot of work is being carried out to achieve load balancing in cloud infrastructure now days. There are so many load balancing algorithms performing their task on different layers of cloud with different level of complexities. To achieve great level of load balancing people use many complex algorithms. But as a result it adds more processing load on the system executing such logic.
