Resource allocation in cloud computing is inherently a challenging task due to the increase in the number of cloud users working on multifarious cloud applications in some of the infrastructure. The majority of resource allocation techniques existing till have focus on providing performance driven by the workload of the applications from diverse domains like scientific and business. This paper presents a detailed review of meta-heuristics algorithms for resource allocation in cloud computing environment. The reviewed meta-heuristic algorithms are capable of achieving much higher performance, reduction in a cost, reduction in time, improve utilization of resources, improve energy efficiency while resource allocation in cloud.
