The Spice Must Flow Green: CNCF's Environmental Sustainability TAG
The carbon must be counted.
In the Environmental Sustainability TAG, we focus on current and emerging technologies regarding carbon measurement and minimization. As our digital landscape grows, so does its impact on the environment—a factor often overlooked in the pursuit of technological advancement, such as AI.
Traditionally, companies focused primarily on financial metrics. However, with increasing awareness of climate issues, stricter regulations, and rising energy costs, environmental impact is now a crucial consideration.
We highlight the Green Reviews Working Group and our project to measure impact. We're developing a pipeline that works with current tooling, such as Kepler, to measure the power consumption of CNCF Projects. We explore how to measure energy consumption and emissions of software projects.
We also give the status of other projects, such as the sustainability landscape, initiatives such as our sustainability week, and collaborative organisations.
Various policy engines for Kubernetes policies
Kubernetes configurations are complex to manage across developers and operators.
External tools like Helm, Kustomize cannot ensure environment-specific configurations and admission controllers provide a way to do this.
Now, various tools have evolved over time that helps solve this problem - OPA Gatekeeper, Kyverno, Kubewarden and jsPolicy.
In this talk, I will go through the need for a policy engine and discuss how each of the tools helps. While discussing the tools I will also tell differences between them and where these are headed to.
Agenda
- Why Policy Engine
- Introduction to OPA Gatekeeper, Kyverno, Kubewarden, jsPolicy
- Differences
- Kyverno Demo
The Kubernetes Hunger Games: Distro Performance in the Edge

Simplify Your Kubernetes Monitoring with InfluxDB 2.0 and InfluxDB Templates
Kubernetes monitoring is one of the biggest use cases for time series databases. It presents interesting challenges for an organization due to the high quantities of events and the variety of metrics collected. InfluxDB 2.0 to the rescue — it provides the combined power of the famous TICK Stack with powerful pre-built templates that will save time and reduce the complexities associated with setting up a Kubernetes monitoring dashboard. InfluxDB Templates are super easy to create and set up. Get ready to monitor your Kubernetes in very little time!
Kubernetes power for VM's using Kubevirt
We all know the power of Kubernetes for containers but did you know you can use the same power for virtual machines. There are workloads that are virtual machine based and cannot be containerised but with KubeVirt technology you can take all the advantages of Kubernetes for these workloads. In this session speaker will discuss KubeVirt technology and tell how VM's and containers can coexist.
Outline
- KubeVirt intro
- Use cases
- Architecture
- VM launch flow
- Demo
- Latest features
k3s ,k3d, k9s, k8s - what are all the numbers about ?
Kubernetes is a very popular tool with the famous acronym "k8s", and the whole ecosystem has many tools starting with "k" or "Kube". However, did you know that there are now tools and even distributions that came into existence with similar patterns like "k3s", "k3d" and even, "k9s"?
This talk will focus on solving the mystery of these new acronyms and clear things clear for the community. The speakers will explain the concepts related to k3s, k3d, k9s, and run hands-on demo for each of them. They will also tell what to use when the question for all the tools/distribution.
At the end of the talk, attendees will be able to clearly tell the differences/similarities for all the products and tools, and be able to choose the right ones for different scenarios.
Heating Pools with Cloud Power: A New Wave in Green Computing
How do you use the heat generated by servers in cloud for social good? In 2023, Civo & DEEP GREEN pioneered a project in Devon, transforming server heat into community benefits.
Imagine miniaturising the data centre, locating it in a secured plant room of a swimming pool & then running a cloud stack services solution on it? Then transform the way that mini data centre is cooled, recapturing & redeploying 96% of the energy it uses, offering end-users green cloud computing, & at the same time providing cost-saving free heat to hosts.
We'll explore the technical synergy between DEEP GREEN's cooling technology & Civo's cloud stack. The integration not only reduced energy waste significantly but also posed unique operational challenges. Attendees will learn about server modifications for optimal cooling, the management & insights into deploying eco-friendly cloud solution.
This case study is a beacon of socially responsible technology, offering lessons in sustainability & climate response.

Building a Tool to Debug Minimal Container Images in Kubernetes, Docker and ContainerD
Minimal container images are getting more popular, but they can't go mainstream unless developers and DevOps engineers can debug them. You need to be able to debug them locally and in production across different container runtimes, but there was no tool to meet those needs until now.
This is a story of adding multi-runtime container debugging capability in SlimToolkit, a CNCF project. You will learn how this capability is designed and implemented in addition to learning how to use it, so you'll be able to build your own tools to do the same.
You'll also learn about the technologies in different container runtimes leveraged to build this multi-platform debugging capability and how it fits in the existing tooling ecosystem as well as the gaps it addresses in existing tools like "kubectl debug".
The talk will have a demo showing how to debug containerized apps on different runtimes using a set of predefined debug images contrasting the user experience compared to "kubectl debug".
