Sustainability and Cloud Native: Strategies for a Green Future
summary
Covers cloud-native sustainability tactics including the kube-green operator, which schedules and powers down test environments and noncritical nodes (an open-source GitHub project that reduced an example cluster from ~1,050 to 450 nodes and saved about 73 kg CO2). Describes a roughly 2-hour install, guidance on choosing ARM CPUs and moving workloads between providers, and points to references such as the CNCF TAG Env Sustainability Landscape and Green Software Patterns.
