Decide on Equinix metro for cluster and identify carbon intensity for this location
For #3 we are manually creating an Equinix cluster in their Paris metro (their name for region). This was selected because France has a low average carbon intensity.
Here is the full list of metros. https://deploy.equinix.com/developers/docs/metal/locations/metros/
We should decide if we're happy with this location or wish to use another?
For calculating the SCI score we need to know the carbon intensity at the location where the cluster is hosted.

Where do we get the carbon intensity value from? How often should we update the carbon intensity value?
Using a dynamic value may make it harder to compare between SCI scores.
