Don’t follow the sun: Scheduling compute workloads to chase green energy can be counter-productive

Adrian Cockcroft

APRIL 7, 2023

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.
