• Abstract: Efficient load balancing is crucial in cloud computing environments to ensure optimal resource utilization, minimize response times, and prevent server overload. Traditional load balancing algorithms, such as round-robin or least connections, are often static and unable to adapt to the dynamic and fluctuating nature of cloud workloads. In this paper, we propose a novel adaptive load balancing framework using Reinforcement Learning (RL) to address these challenges. The RL-based approach continuously learns and improves the distribution of tasks by observing real-time system performance and making decisions based on traffic patterns and resource availability. Our framework is designed to dynamically reallocate tasks to minimize latency and ensure balanced resource usage across servers. Experimental results show that the proposed RL-based load balancer outperforms traditional algorithms in terms of response time, resource utilization, and adaptability to changing workloads. These findings highlight the potential of AI-driven solutions for enhancing the efficiency and scalability of cloud infrastructures.
