Tiivistelmä
The increased adoption of cloud-based software brings growing concerns about its environmental impact and energy costs. Architectural tactics are vital for optimising energy efficiency, but there is the need for empirical-based evidence to understand their actual impact on the energy efficiency of cloud-based software.
This thesis aims at assessing the impact of three architectural tactics on the energy efficiency of a cloud-based software, in order to guide cloud customers in architecting energy efficient workload. We empirically assessed three tactics, namely ’T1: Choose a fitting deployment paradigm’, ’T2: Apply granular scaling’ and ’T3: Deallocate unused resources’ on a cloud-based application. We observed that all the three tactics assessed lead to a significant reduction in energy consumption of the application.
This research contributes to the understanding of the impact of architectural tactics on energy consumption in cloud-based software, thereby empowering cloud customers to make environmentally conscious decisions while architecting for the cloud. Further research is needed to analyse the trade-off between the energy efficiency gained by applying the tactics and the performance of the cloud-based application.
