Green cloud computing recommendation system

One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media encoded with instructions that, when executed by one or more computers, cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:

• receiving, through a user interface, (i) a first set of data indicating one or more characteristics of an existing datacenter, and (ii) a second set of data indicating one or more preferred characteristics of a cloud computing framework for replacing computing resources of the existing datacenter;
• generating, from (i) the first set of data and (ii) the second set of data, a knowledge model;
• identifying, by the knowledge model, one or more candidate cloud computing frameworks for replacing computing resources of the existing datacenter from among a plurality of different cloud computing frameworks,
• wherein identifying the one or more candidate cloud computing frameworks comprises determining, by the knowledge model, (iii) an estimated energy reduction at each of one or more candidate cloud computing frameworks by replacing computing resources of the existing datacenter and (iv) an estimated consumption/reduction in carbon emissions at each of the one or more candidate cloud computing frameworks by replacing computing resources of the existing datacenter;
• generating, for presentation through the user interface, a sustainability recommendation for replacing computing resources of the existing datacenter with one or more candidate cloud computing frameworks based on (iii) the estimated energy reduction at each of one or more candidate cloud computing frameworks and (iv) the estimated consumption/reduction in carbon emissions at each of the one or more candidate cloud computing frameworks;
• and
• replacing computing resources of the existing datacenter with one or more cloud computing frameworks from among the plurality of different cloud computing frameworks, based on the sustainability recommendation.
