Abstract
Load balancing is a crucial component in cloud computing environments to ensure optimal resource utilization, reduced response time, and improved system performance. This study presents a comprehensive comparative analysis of popular load balancing algorithms used in cloud computing, including Round Robin, Weighted Round Robin, Least Connections, and Dynamic Load Balancing algorithms. Through simulation and statistical evaluation, the paper investigates their effectiveness under varying workloads and resource conditions. The results highlight the strengths and limitations of each algorithm, providing valuable insights for selecting suitable load balancing strategies in cloud infrastructures.
