Abstract
This technical disclosure proposes an OPEX proxy that routes client requests to cloud application instances based on the operating expenses (OPEX) of potential host data centers. Unlike traditional routing methods, which are focused on load or network health, this proxy selects data centers with the lowest current or expected OPEX, reducing energy costs without requiring ownership of the power source. The approach supports integration with existing routing mechanisms and can be extended with environmental impact metrics.
