Cloud computing involves virtualization, distributed computers, networking, software, and web services. Clouds have servers, datacenters, and customers. It has fault tolerance, high availability, scalability, flexibility, little user overhead, low ownership cost, on-demand services, etc. These issues demand a robust load balancing mechanism. Balanced load distribution improves resource use and task response time by preventing some nodes from being completely loaded and others idle. Load balancers match processor and network node performance. A load balancing solution that improves throughput and latency for application-based virtual topologies with variable cloud sizes will apply the divisible load scheduling theorem.
