Cloud computing is a modern paradigm to provide services through internet. In cloud computing system, resources are distributed all around the world for faster servicing to clients. Cloud computing has faced many challenges including load balancing, security, resource scheduling scaling, Quality of Service (QoS) management, service availability and data center energy consumption. Load balancing is one of the main challenges and concerns in cloud environment. Load balancing is the process of assigning and re-assigning the load among the available resources in order to maximize the throughput while minimizing response time and cost, improving resource utilization and performance as well as energy saving. Hence providing the efficient load balancing algorithms and mechanisms is a key to the success of cloud computing. This paper presents a survey on different load balancing techniques in cloud environment. Initially, different techniques developed by previous researchers are studied in detail. Then, the limitations in those techniques are also addressed to suggest further improvement on load balancing in cloud using advanced techniques. Comparison based on parameters is also done to prove the efficiency of the various proposed load balancing techniques. The comparison results show the best load balancing technique among them
