Embracing Sustainability in Cloud-Native Ecosystems
summary
Cloud migration can cut energy use dramatically — cited studies show 80% energy reduction moving from enterprise data centers to cloud. Cloud providers pledge 100% renewables by 2025–2030 and net‑zero by 2040, and vendor tools (Google Cloud Carbon Footprint, Azure Sustainability Calculator, AWS carbon reports) measure emissions. Concrete wins include a photo archive cutting ~16,000 kg CO2/year, region choice differences like Finland 91% CFE vs Frankfurt 60%, and a batch job shrinking from 24h to 2h on serverless.
