Abstract

Cloud computing is one of the distributed resource-sharing technology that offers resources on a pay-as-you-use basis. Platform as a service, Infrastructure as a service, and Software as a Service are services provided by the Cloud. Each end user's Quality of service must be ensured by the cloud service provider. In recent days, cloud utilization is rapidly increasing. To avoid congestion and to preserve the Service Level Agreement, the large workload must be balanced across the network. In this research work, a new load balancing approach is proposed for the dynamic resource allocation process to improve stability and to increase profit. PBMM algorithm is devised for an effective load balancing process through which, resource scheduling is performed. Task size and the bidding value coded by each customer are taken into account. To optimize the waiting time, resource tables and task tables are employed. The average waiting time and response time of the special users are minimized. The simulation results show that the proposed load balancing technique ensures the maximum profit and it enhances load balancing stability by increasing the number of special users.
