Abstract

Cloud computing is distributed computing, storing, sharing and accessing data over the Internet. It provides a pool of shared resources to the users available on the basis of pay as you go service that means users pay only for those services which are used by him according to their access times. Load balancing ensures that no single node will be overloaded and used to distribute workload among multiple nodes. It helps to improve system performance and proper utilization of resources. We propose an improved load balancing algorithm for job scheduling in the cloud environment using K-Means clustering of cloudlets and virtual machines in the cloud environment. All the cloudlets given by the user are divided into 3 clusters depending upon clientâ€™s priority, cost and instruction length of the cloudlet. The virtual machines inside the datacenter hosts are also grouped into multiple clusters depending upon virtual machine capacity in terms of processor, memory, and bandwidth. Sorting is applied at both the ends to reduce the latency. Multiple number of experiments have been conducted by taking different configurations of cloudlets and virtual machine. Various parameters like waiting time, execution time, turnaround time and the usage cost have been computed inside the cloudsim environment to demonstrate the results. Compared with the other job scheduling algorithms, the improved load balancing algorithm can outperform them according to the experimental results.Â
