This article is designed to solve the problem of load balancing in cloud computing. Virtual machine migration is a way of resolving load balancing. This study firstly analyzes load selecting, load gathering, source virtual machine selecting and ect in detail. The most important research is the target machine selecting and a selecting algorithm is proposed based on information entropy. Experimental results reveal that the algorithm can not only achieve load balancing but also improve the performance of the system.
