Cloud light weight: A new solution for load balancing in cloud computing Load balancing is one of the central issues and challenges in cloud computing environments. In cloudcomputing environments, the system should avoid wasting resources as a result of under-utilization and avoid lengthy response times as a result of over-utilization. In this paper, we propose a new load balancing method, named Cloud Light Weight (CLW), which not only balances the Virtual Machines'(VM) workload in cloud computing datacenters, but it also assures QoS for users. It reduces both the number of VM migration processes and the migration time during applications execution. We validate our algorithm using the CloudSim cloud system simulator.
