Abstract

Green cloud computing has emerged as a critical area of research and development in response to the escalating environmental impact of traditional data centers. This chapter investigates the opportunities and challenges associated with the adoption of environmentally sustainable practices in cloud computing. The ever-growing demand for computational resources necessitates a paradigm shift towards more energy-efficient and eco-friendly solutions. The opportunities presented by green cloud computing lie in the potential to significantly reduce carbon footprints and energy consumption. The integration of renewable energy sources, energy-efficient hardware, and optimized resource allocation techniques contribute to minimizing the environmental impact of cloud infrastructure. Additionally, the implementation of virtualization and consolidation strategies enhances server utilization, further improving energy efficiency. However, the realization of these opportunities is accompanied by a set of challenges.
