Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for energy-optimizing placement of resources in data centers are disclosed. A resource placement manager determines information descriptive of energy usage by one or more data centers. The one or more data centers comprise a plurality of computing resources in a plurality of corresponding locations. The resource placement manager selects, from the plurality of computing resources in the plurality of corresponding locations, a particular computing resource in a particular location for performing one or more computing tasks. The particular computing resource in the particular location is selected based at least in part on reducing energy usage associated with the one or more data centers according to the information descriptive of energy usage. The particular computing resource in the particular location is used to perform the one or more computing tasks.
