Cloud Computing is an emergent area in the field of Information Technology having the Internet as its base and provides various services as utility and follows pay-as you-go model. Load balancing is a critical issue in cloud computing which is a technique that uses multiple nodes and distributes dynamic workload among them so that no single node is overloaded and ensures none of the system collapse as a victim of overloading. Load balancing includes optimal utilization of resources which increases the performance of the system and thereby the minimization of the load of competent resources. This paper makes a survey that helps in analyzing the issues of existing load balancing algorithms and gives a comparison among these algorithms on the basis of different qualitative metrics like throughput, reliability, performance, resource utilization etc.
