Understanding the principles of green cloud computing
Green coding aims to minimize software energy consumption, requiring a return to mindful resource usage similar to early development constraints.
#2about 2 minutes
Principle 1: Building applications that are carbon efficient
The primary goal is to stop adding carbon to the atmosphere, not just slow emissions, to achieve net-zero and combat climate change.
#3about 3 minutes
Principle 2: Achieving energy efficiency with serverless apps
Build lightweight applications and use serverless architectures to automatically scale resources, reducing energy consumption and costs.
#4about 4 minutes
Principle 3: Leveraging carbon intensity and demand shifting
Run workloads in regions with low carbon intensity or shift them to times when renewable energy is abundant to reduce emissions.
#5about 2 minutes
Principle 4: Maximizing hardware efficiency and reducing embodied carbon
Extend the lifespan of hardware by creating lightweight applications and opting for refurbished devices to reduce carbon from manufacturing.
#6about 2 minutes
Principle 5: Understanding energy proportionality and server utilization
Cloud providers achieve high energy efficiency through optimized server utilization, a principle that can be applied by using smaller VMs and auto-scaling.
#7about 2 minutes
Principle 6: Reducing network data transfer and distance
Minimize network-related energy use by implementing caching, using CDNs, compressing data, and choosing efficient data formats like CSV or Avro.
#8about 3 minutes
Principle 7: Implementing demand shaping and strategic data reduction
Shape application demand to match the available renewable energy supply and reduce unnecessary data storage by deleting old logs and events.
#9about 2 minutes
Principle 8: Measuring and optimizing for carbon efficiency
Use proxies like cloud costs, network traffic, and application performance to measure and continuously optimize for carbon efficiency.
#10about 3 minutes
The business case for green software engineering
Adopting green coding practices meets user demand for sustainability, saves costs, improves performance, and fulfills corporate responsibility.
#11about 11 minutes
Q&A on green cloud providers and implementation strategies
