Going Green: The Future of Sustainable Software
summary
Shell runs a green-software initiative using Green Software Foundation guidelines, an internal checklist and inner-source tools to measure emissions per project and shut down idle test environments to cut energy. Cloud tactics include spatial and time shifting on cloud (Azure Batch, Aqua) to schedule compute when grid carbon intensity is low. A hackathon finds up to a 75x difference in energy between worst and best solutions across languages (Rust, Go, C#, Python), showing concrete savings from design, language and VM-utilization changes.
