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. You can think of the spot market as the buffer capacity for a cloud provider.

Growing AI adoption brings rising cloud costs There are three key reasons that AI costs can spiral out of control: AI consumes additional resources. Running artificial intelligence models and querying data requires massive amounts of computational resources in the cloud, which results in higher cloud costs. Use containerization.
