Thi talk delves into the critical role of open-source computing sustainability, with a specific focus on the approach adopted by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). In an era where digital technologies are transforming industries, open-source computing plays a pivotal role in driving innovation, scalability, and accessibility. The CNCF's strategy, principles, and initiatives in fostering sustainability within the open-source ecosystem are examined, shedding light on the organization's efforts to ensure the longevity, robustness, and resilience of cloud-native technologies. By introducing the CNCF TAG Environmental Sustainability, this talk offers insights into the broader landscape of open-source sustainability and its implications for the future of technology development and deployment.

We will make specific reference to compute sustainability in Azure, with examples and demos from the Carbon-Aware KEDA Operator
