Resumo


A migração de contêineres entre data centers permite acompanhar a eletricidade de menor carbono, mas o checkpoint, a compressão e a transferência consomem energia. Este trabalho estima o Tempo de Retorno de Carbono da migração a frio combinando a energia do CRIU e da compressão, medida com Intel RAPL numa carga HPC (NPB BT), a modelos de rede WAN entre 10 data centers. As operações locais respondem por 1% a 2% da pegada, e comprimir a imagem de alta entropia com xz gera uma dívida de carbono cinco a seis vezes maior que a do envio sem compressão. Sem compressão, o retorno ocorre entre 0,03 e 5,21 minutos, bem abaixo dos vales solares de 9 a 10 horas observados na Espanha e no norte da Califórnia em um dia de amostra, o que sugere a viabilidade dessa migração.
