Abstract
Devices, systems, methods, and processes for sustainably reallocating resources based on within a plurality of computing nodes of a network, such as a managed network are described herein. Each computing node may be configured to transmit infrastructure data to an infrastructure monitor or ecosystem management tool. Additional sustainability data may also be accessed either internally or externally. The infrastructure data and sustainability data may be utilized to generate one or more scores that can be evaluated against each other. These scores may be configured to reflect various conditions or facts about the computing nodes including the overall sustainability. In order to increase sustainability levels, a variety of different resource configurations can be generated and evaluated against each other and the current configuration. When a more sustainable configuration is located, it may be applied by moving resources from originating computing nodes to destination computing nodes to achieve increased sustainability goals.
