GreenOps Sustainable engineering 1
summary
Data shows Dutch cloud ops consume ~3.2 TWh (~3% national electricity) and an 8-core node = 135 kg CO2/year while a continuously running GPU can be ~1,000 kg/year. Leafcloud builds a distributed leaf sites reuse heat architecture: servers in apartment buildings pipe waste heat into boilers, replacing gas and producing net negative CO2 at site scope. Technical choices: dark‑fiber links, disaggregated storage, OpenStack, Masakari failover, 100 µs latency and 100 Gbit networking; benchmarks report higher IOPS and throughput than common clouds.
