Abstract: Example methods and systems are directed to carbon footprint sizing for cloud solutions. An account of the cloud solution provides information related to the expected usage of the cloud solution (e.g., a number of users, a number of processes to be performed, or both). Based on the information, an amount of computing resources (e.g., a number of processor cores, an amount of memory, networking resources, or any suitable combination thereof) to be used for the account is determined. The amount of computing resources is used in conjunction with data about available computing devices to assign computing devices to the account. The carbon emission for the assigned computing devices may be determined based on the power consumption of the computing device, the power usage efficiency of a data center housing the computing device, and a carbon emission intensity for the energy source that provides power to the data center.
