Description

### Contact Details

GitHub/Slack: Willmish

### Data request?

Currently the [Carbon CI Pipeline Tooling project](https://github.com/Green-Software-Foundation/Carbon_CI_Pipeline_Tooling) is facing a blocker as it is missing energy consumption/power usage data for different kinds of resources used by Cloud providers and cannot properly estimate carbon emissions of Cloud infrastructures.

What we need is data power usage/energy consumption for different resource types (databases, VMs, app services etc) for different cloud providers:
- Azure
- AWS
- Google Cloud
- IBM
- And possibly other providers when need arises

Currently we are focusing on adding support for Azure infra-as-code in particular as a starting point - getting data for those resources would be a good step towards a ready-to-use project and first release.

### Outline any further information requirements

As mentioned in the data request, Azure data and estimation is our current focus, but as we expand to other Cloud providers we will need their power usage data as well.
