Cloud computing is a new paradigm for hosting and delivering services on demand over the internet where users access services. It is an example of an ultimately virtualized system, and a natural evolution for data centers that employ automated systems management, workload balancing, and virtualization technologies. Live virtual machine (VM) migration is a technique to achieve load balancing in cloud environment by transferring an active overload VM from one physical host to another one without disrupting the VM. In this study, to eliminate whole VM migration in load balancing process, we propose a Fuzzy Predictable Load Balancing (FPLB) approach which confronts with the problem of overload VM, by assigning the extra tasks from overloaded VM to another similar VM instead of whole VM migration. In addition, we propose a Fuzzy Prediction Method (FPM) to predict VMs migration time. This approach also contains a multi-objective optimization model to migrate these tasks to a new VM host. In proposed FPLB approach there is no need to pause VM during migration time. Furthermore, considering this fact that VM live migration contrast to tasks migration takes longer to complete and needs more idle capacity in host physical machine (PM), the proposed approach will significantly reduce time, idle memory and cost consumption
