Abstract: This article is designed to solve the problem of load
balancing in cloud computing. Virtual machine migration is a way of
resolving load balancing. This study firstly analyzes load selecting, load
gathering, source virtual machine selecting and ect in detail. The most
important research is the target machine selecting and a selecting algorithm
is proposed based on information entropy. Experimental results reveal that
the algorithm can not only achieve load balancing but also improve the
performance of the system.
Keywords: Cloud computing, virtual machine, load balancing, information entropy
