Load balancing in cloud data centers with optimized virtual machines placement

Abstract

So far, various solutions have been proposed for symmetric distribution of load cloud computing environments. In this article, a new solution to the optimal allocation of virtual machines in the cloud data centers is presented to provide a good load balancing among servers. The proposed method offers a solution uses learning automata as a reinforcement learning model to improve the performance of the optimization algorithm for optimal placement of virtual machines. Also, it helps the search algorithm to converge more quickly to the global optimum. The simulation results show the proposed method has been able to perform good level of load balancing in cloud data centers.
