How Kubernetes optimisation can combat climate change
summary
Shows concrete levers for cutting cloud emissions: use KEDA event-driven autoscaling to scale a .NET worker from zero to ten pods to clear 100 queued orders and then downscale, deploy Linkerd service mesh for lightweight observability and reduced overhead, enforce resource and security policies with Kuberno, and apply region and time shifting, spot VMs and higher utilization to lower carbon intensity. Mentions the Green Software Foundation and a forthcoming Software Carbon Intensity index for measurement.
