Abstract: Fuzzy logic has wide adoption in every field of study due to its immense advantages and techniques. In cloud computing, there are many challenges that can be resolved with the help of fuzzy logic. The core objective of this paper is to analyze the application of fuzzy logic in most demanding research areas of cloud computing. We also analyzed the fuzzy methods that were used in the solving of problems relates to cloud computing. A systematic literature review was conducted to enlist the all the challenging areas of research relates to cloud computing, categorized the most critical and challenging areas of cloud research, studied existing problem-solving techniques of each challenging cloud area, and finally studied the application of fuzzy logic in each aforementioned areas to redress different problems. The authors concluded that fuzzy logic can be used in every area of research including cloud computing to solve the problems and optimized the performance, as well as fuzzy logic techniques, were opted by many cloud computing researchers to conduct their study to optimize the performance of the system.
