Description
Summary:Abstract Load balancing (LB) is a critical aspect of Cloud Computing (CC), enabling efficient access to virtualized resources over the internet. It ensures optimal resource utilization and smooth system operation by distributing workloads across multiple servers, preventing any server from being overburdened or underutilized. This process enhances system reliability, resource efficiency, and overall performance. As cloud computing expands, effective resource management becomes increasingly important, particularly in distributed environments. This study proposes a novel approach to resource prediction for cloud network load balancing, incorporating federated learning within a blockchain framework for secure and distributed management. The model leverages Dilated and Attention-based 1-Dimensional Convolutional Neural Networks with bidirectional long short-term memory (DA-DBL) to predict resource needs based on factors such as processing time, reaction time, and resource availability. The integration of the Random Opposition Coati Optimization Algorithm (RO-COA) enables flexible and efficient load distribution in response to real-time network changes. The proposed method is evaluated on various metrics, including active servers, makespan, Quality of Service (QoS), resource utilization, and power consumption, outperforming existing approaches. The results demonstrate that the combination of federated learning and the RO-COA-based load balancing method offers a robust solution for enhancing cloud resource management.
