A Conceptual Framework Towards Implementing a Cloud-Based Dynamic Load Balancer Using a Weighted Round-Robin Algorithm

Abstract

Cloud load balancing has become one of the most vital aspects of Cloud computing that has captured the attention of IT organizations and business firms in recent years. Among the issues related to this particular aspect, one such issue which needs to be addressed is the issue of effectively serving the clients' requests among multiple servers using an appropriate load balancer. Previous survey papers discussed various issues of cloud load balancing and accordingly devised various methods and techniques to address those issues with the objectives of reduction of processing time and response time along with optimization of costs. In this article, we have discussed an effective load balancing technique using the weighted Round-Robin algorithm which can process the client requests among multiple servers with minimal response time. Considering all these aspects, a cloud-based dynamic load balancer is being used to solve the problem of load balancing in the cloud infrastructure.
