I really hope Germany will be able to find a good way out of their high carbon situation. Seems they desperately need to make sure the transition is cheap enough too, to keep industry competitive. Great data, thanks!
Really interesting tool, and an awesome use of open data.
I was surprised to find that while cloud providers are pretty good at reporting carbon intensity used, there's little provision I can find for actually targeting low carbon intensity for spot instances (out of the box) - looks to be something you have to roll yourself.
Certain types of renewables (like solar) might coincide with peak times for compute demand so it'd be a tradeoff between price, utilization time and carbon intensity.
