Green cloud computing aims to reduce the environmental impact of cloud computing. It contributes significantly to the world's energy use and carbon emissions. The cloud computing industry allows users from all over the world to access resources and processing power. Comparing it to specialist high-performance computing hardware results in cost savings and better performance. Large data centers are required for this service, which consumes a lot of energy and produces a lot of carbon dioxide. Utilizing energy-efficient procedures and sustainable infrastructures, data centers become more sustainable and reduce their carbon impact. Virtualization, energy-efficient hardware, energy-efficient cooling, and dynamic power management are some techniques that contribute to the "greening" of cloud computing. Architecture and various power consumption measurement parameters are surveyed in this paper. This computing requires significant amounts of power to run the data centers that support it. Data centers require a continuous and reliable power supply to ensure uninterrupted services to customers. Further, the research difficulties of green cloud computing are investigated.
