US Patent 11853936 Minimizing the environmental impact of workloads

In an approach to improve multi-data center environments by minimizing the environmental impact of workloads in multi-data center environments embodiments migrate at least a portion of one or more workloads between one or more data centers automatically to maximize a usage of renewable energy based on a predetermined threshold score of input power and a combination of renewal energy sources. Further, embodiments dictate, by a policy engine, where at least a portion of the one or more workloads can be hosted. Additionally, embodiments control, by a scheduling engine, how, when, and where at least a portion of the one or more workloads will migrate, and perform data replication to migrate data between a plurality of data center locations.
