CO2 Emission Dashboard Analysis of the top three Cloud Providers (AWS, Azure, GCP)
The cloud carbon footprint is a crucial metric that measures the amount of carbon dioxide emissions generated by a company's cloud computing operations. The carbon footprint is calculated by assessing the direct and indirect emissions from the cloud infrastructure and energy used by cloud services.
Kubernetes cost optimization on AWS
Running microservices on Kubernetes clusters is a modern way to provide your application to end users and customers. On cloud service providers like AWS it is possible to use EC2 auto-scaling that spins up new compute instances based on the current load of the cluster (dynamic scaling) or predefined quantity in a scheduled time plan.
Building a K8S Operator to manipulate your Managed Cluster Nodes
For our WebAssembly Special Interest Group at Liquid Reply we wanted to build a proof of concept that allows us to run WebAssembly workloads on regular Kubernetes nodes which are managed by a Cloud Provider like AWS, Azure or GCP. As WebAssembly images require a modified OCI runtime, in our case CRUN, with support to run WebAssembly. CRUN needs to be compiled, or replaced on the node with a version that has WebAssembly readily compiled.
Relationship between Rightsizing resources, Carbon Footprint & Cloud expenses
The technique of matching cloud instance types and sizes to the workload performance and capacity requirements at the lowest possible cost is known as Rightsizing.
The key compute utilization metrics to consider while rightsizing are vCPU, Memory, Network and Disk use (Virtual IT Resources). Usage patterns play a key role in rightsizing, to properly estimate rightsizing, we need to analyze cloud usage patterns.
Cloud GreenOps - Sustainable Business
In an era where the dire consequences of climate change loom large, the cloud computing world is stepping up to the plate. The correlation between our digital activities and carbon emissions may not be immediately apparent, but it's high time we recognize our role in this global issue. Did you know that streaming 1GB of data online generates as much CO2 as driving 10 kilometers in a car? Join us on a journey of discovery as we explore Cloud GreenOps, the key to reducing your business's carbon footprint in the digital age.
Buckle up: it's time to put sustainability in the driver's seat.
Awareness about Carbon Footprint
Ever wondered about your carbon footprint? It's the mark we leave on the environment through our daily actions. From the fuel in your car to the book you read, everything has a carbon cost. Join us to unravel the mysteries, explore global stats, and dive into the surprising world of cloud carbon footprints. Let's make a sustainable future a reality.
