Abstract

Cloud computing is gaining popularity day by day due to its various qualities. It offers web services and computing resources on demand basis at a very low cost. Demand for cloud services is increasing everyday which brings a lot of load traffic with it, which need to be tackled carefully to maintain the performance of the cloud. To avoid overloaded situations, Load balancing is used to distribute load to all the available nodes efficiently. However, there are several Load balancing issues which requires special attention to give best possible solution to cloud technology. This survey highlights load balancing issues which need to be handled carefully for better performance of cloud computing. Also, we discussed the goals, need and techniques of cloud load balancing.
