Abstract

Aspects of the present invention disclose a method, computer program product, and system for managing geographic locations of resources utilized to operate and support a workload. The method includes one or more processors identifying a request. Processing resources of a first network accessible computing system, located at a first geographic location, are allocated to execute the request. The method further includes determining an originating geographic location of the request and determining parameters for executing the request. The method further includes identifying a second network accessible computing system based on the parameters. The second network accessible computing system is located at a second geographic location associated with the originating geographic location of the request. The method further includes determining whether to relocate at least a portion of processing resources allocated to execute the request from the first network accessible computing system to the second network accessible computing system.
