Various studies have been conducted in the field to meet the client’s requirements and raise the quality of services offered. Based on the client’s requests and integrating it with load balancing as one of the challenges of cloud computing to be addressed the cloud services are ranked. In order to offer better services to the clients and to maintain the trust, load balancing as one of the criteria in real time scheduling is adopted. In order to attain ranking, different services are required to be invoked in the cloud, the requirement factors and the ranking criteria for each factor has been considered to rank them using entropy analysis of Shannon Furthermore, a framework has been proposed to rank them based on the weights attained by the requirements and the ranking criteria.
