An e-commerce company classifies its workloads for carbon-aware scheduling. Order processing (foreground, interactive) runs during business hours. Recommendation model retraining (background, 06:00 deadline) and sales analytics (background, 09:00 deadline) run overnight. Inventory reconciliation has a 2-hour SLA and takes 1 hour. Which workload has the most limited carbon-shifting potential and why?

Question

Accepted Answer

Order processing, because it is an interactive foreground workload that cannot be deferred at all

Answer

Inventory reconciliation, because its 2-hour SLA and 1-hour job duration leave only 1 hour of scheduling slack

Answer

Sales analytics, because it runs overnight when carbon intensity is already low

Answer

Recommendation retraining, because machine learning jobs are too computationally expensive to defer
