Cloud datacenters provide powerful computing power and required resources on demand but the average utilization of cloud servers is comparatively low. Some servers may be overloaded and others may be underutilized. Efficient Load balancing is required to improve the resource utilization and minimize the downtime. The virtual machine migration is one of the key aspect in cloud to balance the load among cloud servers. Securing the VM in migration , minimizing migration time remain open issues. Virtual machine security issues need to be resolved when migrating a virtual machine in cloud. XACML can be used for defining role based access control policies for a VM to provide accessibility only to the authorized resources or users and proposed an XACML based algorithm for load balancing to improve the performance and security of the cloud services.
