Abstract

Concerns about energy usage and the subsequent impact of cloud computing as a contributor to global 〖CO〗_2 emissions are growing as the cloud computing concept gains popularity and cloud infrastructures proliferate quickly. Incorporating energy use and 〖CO〗_2 concerns about cloud application development and deployment decision models are still mostly unknown. To reduce the energy consumption and carbon footprint of cloud applications as well as the supporting infrastructure, this paper outlines an eco-aware approach that makes use of innovative applications, as well as the definition, monitoring, and utilization of energy and 〖CO〗_2 metrics. Measurement or quantification of energy usage and 〖CO〗_2 at various levels of cloud computing constitutes the eco-aware method. This paper thoroughly discusses green computing, current trending ideas and future research challenges
