1. In a system comprising multiple datacenters, a method implemented at least in part by a computing device in a first datacenter of the multiple datacenters, the method comprising:

  • estimating power costs to handle workflow(s) at the first datacenter and one or more other datacenters of the multiple datacenters;

    evaluating the power costs to determine whether power use in the system can be optimized by handling the workflow(s) at a different datacenter of the other datacenters, power use optimization in the system comprising one or more of use of a more efficient resource to handle the workflow(s) and executing the workflow(s) where power is less costly; and

    if power use in the system can be optimized by handling the workflow(s) at the different datacenter, and if any additional constraint(s) for consideration are satisfied, migrating client application(s) associated with the workflow(s) to the different datacenter.
