Cloud native Sustainability

Oct 02, 2023

One of the top topics discussions of the year in the cloud native space is about sustainability, sustainable software and spreading the word.

2nd week of October is the cloud native sustainability week and I am so excited for this as we at Kubesimplify have got you covered for entire week with speakers from different organizations talking about their orgs efforts in the sustainability space and how you be part of it.

We will keep it away from politics and oriented towards the tech side of it and how you can use the existing tooling around yourself to create an impact and reduce the carbon footprint.

Why is it so important? Why now? You might have these questions and answer to that is we do have some tooling available to us that can help us get carbon footprint for our applications and then there are tools that we can use this data and do something to reduce it. Let me give you an example, I created multiple videos already in this space out of which two are for Kube green and Kepler project which are the CNCF projects.

Now Kepler project give you the prometheus metrics in terms of workloads and their carbon emissions, Kube green helps you to scale down workloads to zero. You can use these in conjunction to create a powerful combo. Another usecases can be intelligent autoscalers which will be discussed by Avesha team.

Be sure to tune in for the whole week at 8:30am PST everyday from 9th-13th October.

What Am I doing?

Apart from planning for Sustainability week, KubeDay India and DevOpsDays Bengaluru, I have been also working on Civo Navigate Austin!

I created one video and did another Webinar with Kodekloud team, it was a long pending collaboration with KodeKloud.

Yes I am lagging a bit behind in creating content but I am getting to the pace again.

The Kubernetes series in Hindi has started as well.
