Claim 7:
8. One or more non-transitory storage media storing instructions that when executed by one or more computers cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:
providing, for display, a dashboard including
(i) a representation of an existing datacenter that currently hosts a company's computing resources that are to be migrated, and
(ii) multiple cloud-based computing frameworks that do not currently host the company's computing resources and that have been selected as candidates for evaluation to receive the company's computing resources that are currently hosted by the existing data center;

receiving data indicating a selection or update, through the dashboard, of a preferred green computing characteristic of a cloud-based computing framework that is to receive the computing resources that are currently hosted by the existing data center;
selecting, based on the selection or the update of the preferred green computing characteristic, one or more updated cloud-based computing frameworks as candidates to receive the company's computing resources that are currently hosted by the existing data center, that do not currently host the company's computing resources and that are different than the multiple cloud-based computing frameworks that were provided before the selection or update was indicated;
providing, for display, an updated dashboard including the one or more updated cloud-based computing frameworks and, for each of the one or more updated cloud-based computing frameworks, greenness measures indicating environmental effects of migrating the company's computing resources to the updated cloud-based computing framework in comparison to migrating the company's computing resources to one or more of the multiple cloud-based computing frameworks that were provided before the selection or updated was indicated, the greenness measures including a sustainability index that reflects a level of improvement in environmental sustainability that is achievable by migrating the computing resources to the updated cloud-based computing frameworks; and
receiving data indicating a selection, through the updated dashboard that includes the sustainability index, of a particular one of the updated cloud-based computing frameworks, then migrating the company's computing resources that are hosted by the existing data center to the particular one of the updated cloud-based computing frameworks.
