Comparative Study for Different Provisioning Policies for Load Balancing in Cloudsim

Distributing application requests across applications located in different datacenters with in cloud equally must be provided by cloud load balancing. In this paper, we compare different provisioning policies within cloud for virtual machines and workloads, where we are focusing on how to distribute the processing power between virtual machines and how to distribute workload among virtual machines. Cloudsim is the simulation plate form used to test the different distributions scenarios to check the performance on makespan, average turnaround time, bandwidth utilization and CPU utilization. Result showed the difference in performance between the three tested provisioning schemes, where the space-shared gives better readings for the selected performance metrics.
