By 2025, sustainable cloud practices will be critical for enterprises aiming to reduce energy costs and meet ESG goals.
This guide explores the latest tools for measuring cloud energy use, AI-driven optimization strategies, case studies from AWS, Azure & Google Cloud, and carbon-aware computing techniques.
Key metrics to monitor include kilowatt-hour (kWh) per workload, carbon intensity (grams CO2e per kWh), and PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) of data centers.
Energy optimization strategies include scheduling workloads for renewable energy, right-sizing underutilized resources, and adopting sustainable architectures.
