摘要：Cloud computing in a nutshell provides on-demand access to visualized IT resources that can be sharedby others on “pay-as-use” policy. It is an awesome platform in next stage of evolution of internet that leverages variousopportunities to improve the way in which we think about and implement the practices and technology needed to securethe things that matters us the most. With the recent advent of technology, it has revolutionized the informationtechnology industry by enabling elastic on-demand provisioning of computing resources. Central to these issues lies theestablishment of an effective load balancing algorithm. The load can be CPU load, memory, capacity, delay or networkload. Load balancing is the process of distributing the load among various nodes of a distributed system to improveboth resource utilization and job response time by avoiding a situation where some of the nodes are heavily loadedwhile other under -loaded or nodes are idle. Load balancing ensures that all the processor in the system or every nodein the network distributes equal amount of work at any instant of time. Technique can be sender initiated, receiverinitiated or symmetric type (combination of sender initiated and receiver initiated types) for balancing load and can alsobe categorized static or dynamically. This paper is a brief discussion on different load balancing techniques andcomparison between them.
