Abstract :
Cloud computing is one of the latest and fastest growing technologies in the field of computation, computation strength of cloud based virtual machines is rapidly increasing because of smart resource provisioning feature. Because of this dynamic resource provisioning smart feature, virtual machines resources can be provisioned dynamically from the pool of available resources which become one of the biggest milestones for the success of mission critical web applications in cloud computing infrastructure. In brief, mission critical web application can be defined as an application whose downtime cannot be affordable at any time. Incoming traffic on such applications cannot be predictable. Applications like Facebook, Google, YouTube or Amazon are few example of mission critical web application and these applications are highly scalable in terms of availability. Success of mission critical web applications totally depends upon the efficient load balancer or load balancing techniques or load balancing algorithms, these algorithms distribute HTTP/HTTPS traffic or load in between different nodes of server cluster in the best optimized way. Implementation of efficient load balancer for load sharing among the server cluster nodes in an optimized way is still a great challenge. This paper describes cloud computing technology in brief and highlights positive and negative aspects of load balancing techniques and also describes different load balancing algorithms with comparison chart based on load balancing metrics.
