Sustainability and the Cloud - How Developers Can Harness More Sustainable Solutions

Environmental sustainability should be one of the most important considerations of technology going forward. Cloud and on-prem data centers consume a significant amount of energy, which maps to a signficant carbon footprint.  This month, we will be focusing on how developers can affect environmental sustainability by using a variety of efforts and technologies.

Niki Manoledaki is a software engineer who works with the CNCF to advocate for cloud-native environmental sustainability by contributing to the CNCF Environmental Sustainability Technical Advisory Group. She is also a Maintainer of the GitOps WG.
