Performance Optimization and Load Balancing in Cloud Computing
Cloud computing has revolutionized the way applications and services are delivered to users. However, to provide consistent and fast services to users, cloud systems must maintain high performance and manage workloads efficiently. Two critical concepts that enable this are performance optimization and load balancing.
Imagine a situation where a popular website like Amazon receives thousands of users during a sale. If the system doesn’t optimize its performance or balance the load effectively, users will face slow loading, errors, or even downtime. This tutorial aims to explain these two concepts.
Understanding Performance in Cloud Computing
Performance in cloud computing refers to how quickly and efficiently a cloud system responds to users’ requests. Key performance indicators include:
- Response Time: This is the total time it takes for a system to respond to a user request. It includes the time to process the request and send back the response. A low response time means the system is fast and responsive.
- Throughput: This refers to the number of requests or transactions…
