SELF-LEARNING GREEN APPLICATION WORKLOADS

Techniques are described for determining the energy usage of a data center and invoking one or more actions to improve the energy usage of the data center. For example, a computing system may obtain energy usage data of a data center deploying an application. The computing system may also determine, based on a comparison of the energy usage data of the data center deploying the application to a percentage of energy provided by one or more renewable energy sources to the data center, a green quotient of the application that specifies a value that indicates whether the data center deploying the application is energy efficient. The computing system may further invoke, based on the green quotient of the application that specifies a value that indicates the data center deploying the application is not energy efficient, an action to improve energy usage of the data center deploying the application.
