A Load Balancing Approach using VM Migration for Increasing the Resource Utilization in Cloud

Abstract:- Cloud computing evolve as a new technology in the field of IT and growing so much faster due to attractive feature like easy to use, dynamic allocation and reallocation of the resources, less costly etc. It provides on demand resources to the client on the rent basis. Cloud support for the utility model, so user has to pay only for the use resources. Since it provide resource to the users and demand for the resources increasing very fast in the past few decades. So load balancing is the main requirement of the cloud system. But load balancing in cloud is more difficult as compare to other technology because it is so large and user requirement can be change dynamically. It helps in optimizing the resource utilization, hence enhancing the system performance. The prime goal of any load balancing approach is to maximize the resource utilization and reducing the number of active server which will further reduce energy consumption and carbon emission. During the past decades several load balancing approach have been proposed. Main objective of these approaches is to increase the system performance by reducing the number of migration. But these approaches are not focusing on the resource wastage. This paper proposed a load balance approach that reduce the number of migration and increase the resource utilization. It is implemented in CloudSim simulator. Experiment result shows that proposed approach gives better result as compare to the existing load balancing approach
