Abstract

Cloud computing is an evolving standard that delivers computing and storage possessions as a service over the internet. One of the major key concerns is load balancing in multi cloud domain, which is NP-hard optimisation problem. In this paper, we proposed a biogeography-based load balancing algorithm (BB-LBA), which balances the load across geographically distributed datacentres and virtual machines for maximising the throughput. We derive Markov models for biogeography-based load balancing in multi cloud domain with migration and mutation operators. A comparative experiments with GA, PSO and HBB-LB is conducted, and the results show that our proposed BB-LBA algorithm outperforms the other in term of response time, number of task migrations and waiting time of tasks in queue.
