Our infrastructures come with an environmental cost; IT sector alone is responsible for 1.4% of global carbon emissions.
Understanding software's environmental impact requires a carbon-aware approach and conscious resource utilization for greener development.
Unused resources like pods contribute significantly to our overall carbon footprint.
Simple tools like kube-green in Kubernetes enable conscious cloud resource usage for greener system development without architectural impact.
FinOps and GreenOps concepts go hand in hand, impacting both costs and environmental considerations; tools like OpenCost integrate infrastructure emissions measurements.
