A promise of public cloud computing is the significant reduction of the energy footprint that is enabled by economies of scale. Cloud services typically decrease energy consumption compared to on-premise data centers, due to less overheads, frequent technology updates, and more efficiency in scalability. Between 80% and 90% of the businesses have already migrated to the cloud. However, little research is available on how organizations can further reduce their energy footprint when running software applications in the public cloud. When re-engineering and re-architecting applications for the cloud engineers do not yet include the software tactics to manage data and/or computation more efficiently and to decrease the necessary resources and thus energy to store data, to compute resources for processing, and to transfer data between cloud, edge and customer devices. Moreover, cloud consumers do not have information on their cloud infrastructure usage, so an understanding of the impact of design decisions on energy usage is lacking. This problem increases when software is part of a corporate or public system of multiple and distributed services. Previous research of VU and Surf demonstrates the possibility to orchestrate cloud workloads towards more energy efficiency through reasoning and resource optimizations. However, these processes are proven at academic and at scientific High Performance Computing (HPC) levels and are not (yet) straightforward enough for live cloud environments, due to a lack o:

- Available live cloud environments that would allow for energy efficiency experiments in day-to-day dynamics. Such experiments enable scientific energy research in cloud practice, and can therefore not be done in isolation within the scientific Green Lab of VU or within the HPC lab of Surf. Academic set-ups cannot include all kinds of scalability, privacy, and security issues. And common live cloud environments are not fit with energy metrics in hardware and software, and can be influenced by other processes that run in a cloud facility.

In this project, we aim to answer the fundamental questions about how sustainability is affected by the way software running in the cloud is structured, and in doing so, develop tools that help making software more sustainable.
