Popis: Cloud computing offers dynamic, scalable, and virtualized computing resources to end users over the internet. Load balancing is crucial for efficient resource use, distributing workloads across multiple resources to prevent overloading. Load balancing is crucial for resource utilization and processing time reduction, but traditional algorithms are often stuck at local maxima, leading to unequal allocation and performance decline. A metaheuristic based algorithm is proposed to dynamically adjust load distribution, ensuring resilience and sensitivity to changing workloads while managing energy consumption. This research presents a Rock Hyrax-based load balancing algorithm that addresses local maxima and power efficiency issues using QoS parameters. The algorithm’s performance is evaluated qualitatively and statistically, considering both static and dynamic modes of jobs and virtual machines. Comparing it with existing scheduling algorithms, the algorithm reduces makespan by 10%–15% and total energy consumption in data centers by 8%–13%. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of the Rock Hyrax-based load balancing algorithm in improving performance and energy efficiency in data centers, highlighting its potential impact on optimizing resource allocation and enhancing overall system performance.
