Abstract

Cloud computing is a latest technology that uses internet and centralized servers to maintain data and various types of applications. Cloud computing allows consumers and business people to use applications without any installation of either hardware or software and accessing their personal files at any computer with internet access. This technology allows for much more efficient computing by centralizing storage, memory, processing. The cloud computing system is the newer version of utility computing which has replaced its area at various data centers. The Load balancer determines when to start or end any virtual machine in the Cloud. The auto scaling feature along with the load balancing technique makes anyone easy to automatically increase or decrease back-end capacity to meet traffic fluctuation levels.
