Pay-per-use cloud computing offers scalable IT resources over the internet, making it a major paradigm in distributed computing. Because of its adaptability, it has been quickly adopted by various industries, which has accelerated the growth of data centers. In cloud computing, load balancing is essential for improving system performance, cutting down on execution times, and making the best use of available resources. This study investigates the effects of several load-balancing strategies on distributed systems, with a focus on dynamic and static algorithms. Static load balancing depends on a predetermined distribution and makes no adjustments during runtime, whereas dynamic load balancing, which can be distributed or non-distributed, adjusts in real time to system changes. The study also compares various methods, emphasizing their advantages and disadvantages. To highlight developments in load balancing techniques, notably those utilizing metaheuristic algorithms, job scheduling in Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), and server consolidation, important findings from recent studies are also discussed. The analysis emphasizes how crucial effective load balancing is to maintaining system resilience, making the best use of available resources, and enhancing service quality.
