摘要:Cloud computing is a highly scalable and cost-effective infrastructure for running HPC, enterprise andWeb applications. However, the growing demand of Cloud infrastructure has drastically increased the energyconsumption of data centers, which has become a critical issue. High energy consumption not only translates to highoperational cost, which reduces the profit margin of Cloud providers, but also leads to high carbon emissions which isnot environmentally friendly. Hence, energy-efficient solutions are required to minimize the impact of Cloudcomputing on the environment. In order to design such solutions, deep analysis of Cloud is required with respect totheir power efficiency. Thus, in this chapter, we discuss various elements of Clouds which contribute to the total energyconsumption and how it is addressed in the literature. We also discuss the implication of these solutions for futureresearch directions to enable green Cloud computing. The chapter also explains the role of Cloud users in achievingthis goal.
