Abstract: Cloud computing paradigm is on its peak in recent times. With the advancement of datacenter infrastructures organisations are incrementally depending on cloud computing for most of their operations. As this dependency on cloud computing is increasing load balancing in cloud environment is gaining significance. This paper is focusing on the load balancing in a real time public cloud environment. Load balancing being an important aspect of traffic management, detailed implementation and analysis of three load balancing algorithms, namely Round Robin, least connections and IP Hash, is carried out with respect to different scenarios and conducted stress tests. An active health check module is also implemented to identify the status of active and dormant servers. The observations are made and the matrices are tabulated with respect to different performance parameters of a datacenter. The parameters such as network throughput, bandwidth and CPU utilisation are observed to have upgraded values.
