Abstract

Sustainable development is an approach that considers both short- and long-term needs, such as economic and social justice, environmental preservation, and natural resources. A cloud computing environment is made available to users to facilitate flexible innovation, scalable capabilities, and scale economies. It includes analytics, software, networking, databases, storage, and servers. This study examines many cloud qualities that benefit sustainable development, including resource pooling, simple maintenance, favorable economic effects, and extensive network access. This research also looks at many aspects of modern cloud service providers that support sustainable growth, such as Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and Amazon Web Services (AWS). Finally, this study discusses possible issues with cloud sustainability, including lack of knowledge, hidden costs, security, and administration.
