  In cloud computing environment, load balancing is a key issue which is
required to distribute the dynamic workload over multiple machines to make
certain that no single machine is overloaded. In recent research, many
organizations lose significant part of their revenues in handling the requests
given by the clients over the web servers i.e. unable to balance the load for
web servers which results in loss of data, delay in time and increased costs.
Various static and dynamic algorithms have been proposed and implemented in the
past but this have not been fully efficient for load balancing. This gave room
to hybrid algorithms. Hybrid methods inherit the properties from both static
and dynamic load balancing techniques and attempts at overcoming the limitation
of both algorithms. This paper is a study of various hybrid load balancing
algorithms in cloud computing environment.
