ARM architecture, based on a processor type optimized for cloud and hyperscale computing, has become the most prevalent on the planet, with billions of ARM devices currently in use. Energy efficiency and carbon footprint outshine x86 architectures The first clear benefit of ARM in the enterprise IT landscape is energy efficiency.

Sunset in Morocco — photo taken by Adrian We want to reduce carbon emissions of our compute and storage workloads, and one way of doing this is to choose a time and place where the “grid mix” of energy consumed is less carbon intensive. AWS calls this an Insufficient Capacity Exception (ICE) and works very hard to avoid it.

McKinsey summarizes the importance of this focus: “Every company uses energy and resources; every company affects and is affected by the environment.” Some interesting facts: Moving a workload to the cloud can reduce its carbon footprint by up to 96%. Cloud computing has a greater carbon footprint than the airline industry.

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. This is basically the position of the major cloud providers, they will all take care of it for you by 2030 or so.
