Abstract
An approach is provided for determining a carbon footprint-based consumption of cloud resources. Cloud resource requirements and a carbon footprint cap of a workload of a cloud consumer are received. The requirements and cap are based on a sustainability target, published by the cloud consumer, and subscribed by cloud service providers. A list of cloud resources that satisfy the requirements are sent. Carbon emission values of the cloud resources at different load levels of the workload are sent. Based on a service level agreement requirement, a criticality level, and a peak load duration of the workload, and previous success rates of satisfying cloud resource requirements by cloud service providers, an optimized configuration of cloud resource(s) and cloud service provider(s) is selected. The cloud resource(s) are selected from the list and have a carbon footprint that does not exceed the cap at a given load level.
