DevGreenOps: How to Design Sustainable Digital Services
"The transparency category contains actions like integrating meaningful sustainability metrics into the monitoring and observability of the service, as well as communicating them to all stakeholders, including developers, operations professionals, designers, and users or consumers. This can be done through things like sustainability reports, dashboards, or even just single KPIs, when they are relevant to their decision-making, adding the sustainability dimensions to this decision-making, Joswig said."
"Like a fiscal budget limits the amount of money that can be spent for the development or operation of a service, a carbon budget limits the amount of carbon emissions that the development or operation of a service is allowed to cause. For scoreboards, Joswig mentioned two major applications: The first is to gamify environmental protection, for instance, by tracking which teams or projects have seen the most environmental impact savings in a given timeframe."
DevGreenOps integrates environmental sustainability into the DevOps lifecycle by applying transparency, minimalism, efficiency, and awareness. The approach aims to preserve DevOps benefits while reducing environmental impact by lowering energy, water, and other resource use across development, deployment, and operation. Sustainability metrics should be integrated into monitoring and observability and communicated to developers, operations, designers, and users through reports, dashboards, or relevant KPIs. Carbon budgets can cap allowable emissions similarly to fiscal budgets limiting expenditure. Scoreboards can gamify environmental protection by tracking teams' savings and identify computational units with the largest environmental impact to prioritize optimization.
