A literature survey on Load Balancing Algorithm in Green Cloud Computing

Cloud computing is an innovative technology that has been utilized more and more in recent years. Cloud computing is the storage and access of data on servers hosted on the internet in contrast to the traditional method where the data will be stored on the local server or the hard drive in the system. More and more companies are adopting cloud computing in their company. Using these resources computing resources are provided to the user using the internet. As a result of this rapid expansion, the number of data centres, the palace where the data is stored, has tremendously increased which has resulted in an increase in power consumption which in turn raises sustainability concerns as the link between power consumption and carbon footprint is already recognized. Another challenge is that of load balancing which is the distribution of the workload among the available nodes to ensure that the load is spread evenly across the system and a single node does not have excess load. It means the efficient use of resources and reduces the use of unnecessary resources thereby saving energy. This energy-efficient cloud computing is denoted as the green cloud or green cloud computing and load balancing is one of the ways to achieve it. This paper attempts to identify and summarise the recent literature related to Load load-balancing algorithms in Green Cloud Computing and provides an overview of all the important concepts in this topic
