Load-balancing algorithms in cloud computing: A survey

In this paper, we study the literature on the task scheduling and load-balancing algorithms and present a new classification of such algorithms, for example, Hadoop MapReduce load balancing category, Natural Phenomena-based load balancing category, Agent-based load balancing category, General load balancing category, application-oriented category, network-aware category, and workflow specific category. Furthermore, we provide a review in each of these seven categories. Also. We provide insights into the identification of open issues and guidelines for future research.
