A Survey of Swarm Intelligence Based Load Balancing Techniques in Cloud Computing Environment

Cloud computing offers flexible, interactive, and observable access to shared resources on the Internet. It frees users from requirements of managing their hardware. enables not only store data over internet but also can it whenever wherever is required. The frequent use smart devices has helped cloud realize need for its rapid growth. As more are adapting environment, focus been placed load balancing. Load balancing allocates tasks or different devices. In computing, played a major role in efficient usage highest performance. This requirement results development algorithms that optimally assign while improving quality service (QoS). paper provides survey inspired by swarm intelligence (SI). considered discussion Genetic Algorithm, BAT Ant Colony, Grey Wolf, Artificial Bee Particle Swarm, Whale, Social Spider, Dragonfly, Raven roosting Optimization. An analysis main objectives, area applications, targeted issues each algorithm (with advancements) presented. addition, performance performed based average response time, center processing other parameters.
