Challenges of load balancing algorithms in cloud computing utilizing data mining tools

Abstract

In the cloud computing environment, load balancing plays an important role in the efficient operation of cloud computing, where a multitude of resources serve diverse workloads and fluctuating demands. In the rapidly evolving cloud computing, efficient resource management, and optimization are critical for maximizing performance, scalability, and cost-effectiveness. Load balancing algorithms aim to distribute workloads across cloud resources to ensure optimal utilization and maintain high availability of services. This paper presents a comparative study of load balancing algorithms in cloud computing using data mining tools. It underscores the complexity of selecting algorithms for effective load balancing in scenarios with diverse criteria, emphasizing its critical importance for future research and practical implementations. The experimental results are presented, evaluating the performance of different load balancing algorithms using data-mining tools. The outcomes highlight the substantial difficulties when building a model with unacceptable errors to cover users’ needs while selecting the desired load balancing method.
