Cloud computing is a new and advanced viewpoint for large-scale parallel and distributed computing systems. Cloud computing is growing quickly, and users are demanding more services and better results, so cloud-computing load balancing has become a very thought-provoking and important research area. Load on the cloud is growing extremely with the expansion of new applications. Load balancing is a major area of the cloud computing environment, which guarantees that all connected devices or processors simultaneously perform the same amount of work. Hence, an efficient load-balancing scheme is needed to improve the performance of cloud computing. Different researchers in the past years have proposed several load-balancing algorithms. This paper examines the important necessities and concerns for designing and implementing a suitable load balancer for cloud environments. In addition, we constitute an entire survey of recently proposed cloud load balancing solutions; finally, we propose evaluating these solutions based on suitable metrics and discuss their advantages and disadvantages.
