Abstract

As the demand for cloud computing continues to increase, the environmental impact of data centers is becoming a growing concern. Green cloud computing has emerged as a solution to address this issue, reducing the carbon footprint of cloud computing while maintaining its performance and functionality. This paper comprehensively reviews eco-friendly computing strategies for Green Cloud Computing, such as virtualization, consolidation, dynamic resource allocation, energy-efficient hardware design, Renewable energy sources, and energy-efficient cooling systems. Green computation algorithms, which are an integral component of the green cloud computing movement that aims to reduce the carbon footprint of computing systems, are explored. The algorithms are designed to optimize energy efficiency, reduce power consumption, and ensure the efficient use of resources while maintaining performance and functionality. The algorithms are essential to widely adopt eco-friendly computing strategies and create a more sustainable future for cloud computing.
