As global warming advances, growing IT carbon footprints are pushing energy-efficient computing to the top of many organizations’ priority lists. Energy efficiency is a key reason why organizations are migrating workloads from energy-intensive on-premises environments to more efficient cloud platforms.

Let’s start by assuming that you have figured out a way to estimate the energy consumption and carbon footprint for a workload that is sensitive enough to register changes in the way you run the workload. The first thing to understand is that doing things consumes time and energy and has a carbon footprint of its own.
