ABSTRACT

Cloud computing is a fast growing area in computing research and industry today. With the advancement of the Cloud, there are new possibilities opening up on how applications can be built and how different services can be offered to the end user through Virtualization, on the internet. There are the cloud service providers who provide large scaled computing infrastructure defined on usage, and provide the infrastructure services in a very flexible manner which the users can scale up or down at will.
The establishment of an effective load balancing algorithm and how to use Cloud computing resources efficiently for effective and efficient cloud computing is one of the Cloud computing service providers’ ultimate goals.
In this paper firstly analysis of different Virtual Machine (VM) load balancing algorithms is done. Secondly, a new VM load balancing algorithm has been proposed and implemented for an IaaS framework in Simulated cloud computing environment; i.e. ‘Weighted Active Monitoring Load Balancing Algorithm’ using CloudSim tools, for the Datacenter to effectively load balance requests between the available virtual machines assigning a weight, in order to achieve better performance parameters such as response time and Data processing time.
