  Cloud computing has been gaining popularity in the recent years. Several
studies are being proceeded to build cloud applications with exquisite quality
based on users demands. In achieving the same, one of the applied criteria is
checkpoint based load balancing in real time scheduling through which suitable
cloud service is chosen from a group of cloud services candidates. Valuable
information can be collected to rank the services within this checkpoint based
load balancing. In order to attain ranking, different services are needed to be
invoked in the cloud, which is time consuming and wastage of services
invocation. To avoid the same, this chapter proposes an algorithm for
predicting the ranks of different cloud services by using the values from
previously offered services.
