Behind this dataset
Same schema. As many rows as you need.
These 52 rows came out of a blueprint — 14 columns with generation rules behind each one. Open it in Data Factory to retune a column, add your own, wire in foreign keys, and run it at the size you actually need.
Rules it was built with
- Each row represents a different server instance.
- Energy usage is logged daily in kWh.
- Emissions calculated based on local energy grid carbon intensity.
- Efficiency score derived from server workload vs. energy consumed.
- Must include server location and hardware model.
