Performance Analysis of Load Balancing Techniques in Cloud Computing Environment: A Focus on Azure

Abstract

Load balancing is a fundamental aspect of cloud computing, crucial for maximizing resource efficiency and ensuring high availability of services. This article explores the performance of four prominent load-balancing techniques: Round Robin, Least Connections, IP Hash, and Adaptive Load Balancing. By analyzing their performance based on key metrics such as response time, throughput, uptime, and server utilization, we demonstrate the significance of selecting appropriate strategies to enhance cloud infrastructure performance.
