Planning and deploying carbon aware applications in the cloud
Everything starts with an epic energy transition that is happening in our days, moving away from fossil fuels and towards greener energy sources like the renewable photovoltaic panels and wind turbines.
From the IT industry’s perspective, we are contributing to this cause through the development of Green Software, which is responsible for emitting fewer greenhouse gases.
Carbon aware computing refers to the practice of designing, building, and operating computer systems with the goal of minimizing their carbon footprint.
This can include things like the cloud efficiency. The basic idea is doing more in your software when the carbon intensity is low and doing less when the carbon intensity is high.
