It is possible to adopt less energy-intensive strategies and consume electricity produced by renewable energy to limit the increase in carbon emissions. In this article, we present a review of the workload-shifting techniques available for sustainable workload deployment, providing an innovative framework that can be used to analyze energy-aware approaches that apply any type of shifting technique. We identified three main concepts: compute a workload at a different time, deploy a workload and/or its data in a different location, or use alternative processing to provide a good-enough option for a workload. A definition and some examples are given for each shifting concept, and then we explore the opportunities and challenges of combining different shifting techniques. 000165148 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess$$aAll rights reserved$$uhttp://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 000165148 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000165148 700__ $$aRoose, Philippe 000165148 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-7073-219X$$aIlarri, Sergio$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000165148 700__ $$aNoureddine, Adel 000165148 700__ $$aLe Goaër, Olivier 000165148 7102_ $$15007$$2570$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
