Abstract

Cloud computing, described as distributed online computing, is a kind of Internet-based computing that provides pooled web resources and applications to connected servers and other machines on user’s demand. It is a web system for enabling ubiquitous, on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources which can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort. Load balancing is an important issue in the cloud computing. Cloud computing comprises of many web resources and managing. This plays a vital role in executing a user’s request. In this present condition the load balancing algorithms should be very efficient in allocating the user request and also ensuring the usage of the resources in an intelligent way so that underutilization of the resources will not occur and preemptive based resource management be there in the cloud environment. Cloud computing services different types of nodes connected to cloud to assist the execution of great number of tasks. As a result, to select suitable node or machine for executing a task is able to develop the performance of cloud computing system. A job switching is the switching of the job from one machine to another machine to minimize the overall completion time. In this paper, we propose a load balancing algorithm combining minimum completion time as well as load balancing strategies with job switching.
