Existing load balancing techniques are commonly employed in cloud environments,

including:
1. Round Robin
2. Weighted Round Robin
3. Least Connection
4. Throttling
5. Dynamic Load Balancing
While the aforementioned techniques are established, the hybrid algorithm
combining EHO and HS could offer a novel approach for load balancing in cloud
environments. Its potential lies in leveraging the unique characteristics and
capabilities of both algorithms to adaptively allocate workloads, optimize resource
utilization, and achieve better load balancing performance.
7
Motivation
 Efficient load balancing in cloud environments can lead to several benefits,
including:
1. Enhanced Performance.
2. Resource Optimization.
3. Scalability and Elasticity.
4. Quality of Service (QoS) Improvement.
The motivation for using this hybrid algorithm lies in its potential to improve load
balancing in cloud environments. By developing and applying a hybrid algorithm
that combines the strengths of EHO and HS, the motivation is to address the
challenges of load balancing in cloud environments and optimize resource
allocation. This can lead to improved performance, resource utilization,
scalability, and QoS, ultimately benefiting both cloud service providers and users.
