Abstract
The emergence of cloud computing as computing resources evolved as a new kind of services in the area of communication and information technology from the convergence and evolution of business, technology and methodology perspectives which allows and furnish its users to access the IT resources anywhere and anytime at low cost on pay-per-use basis. Therefore, it should be a kind of non-stop service to its users with adequate fulfillment of the demands made by the users, which are available on the cloud environments. There are many challenges to achieve it and cloud load balancing on virtual machines is one of them. The selected computing resource for the execution of a job does not give guaranty that it would persist throughout the lifecycle of the job. The resources over cloud must be handled and controlled by an appropriate mechanism by setting the priorities on the available cloud resources which are shared among its users. This paper does a systematic literature review on load balancing algorithms for one of a vital cloud resource which is the Virtual Machine over Cloud environment to address these challenges.
