Abstract: Cloud data centers are rapidly proliferating, and with this expansion, their environmental and operational impacts have become pressing concerns for enterprises worldwide. Traditional management approaches fall short in response to dynamic workload patterns and the variability of renewable energy supply. This study presents a novel AI-powered framework for optimizing energy efficiency and sustainability in multi-cloud data centers. By leveraging LSTM-based workload forecasting and multi-agent reinforcement learning (RL) for intelligent resource provisioning, coupled with comprehensive benchmarking.......
