Cloud Computing [CC] is a kind of virtualization of various types of Information Technology Infrastructure which includes software, hardware, application, utilities, driver and so on. Cloud Computing is virtually a kind of network grid in which network and communication technology play an important role for compete virtualization. Fundamentally, Cloud Computing is the way in which any user can avail the hardware and software access from the world. Load Balancing is one of the important issues of Cloud Computing; virtually this is useful to distribute the sophisticated and dynamic workload to all of its nods equally and depending upon need. It ensures that no single node should not gain overload. This paper is talks about Cloud Computing; including its need and importance, characteristics and especially discusses about the way of Load Balancing in Cloud Architecture. © 2017 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
