“Data centers are among the largest and fastest growing consumers of natural resources,” said D2iQ software engineer Zinnia Gibson in a recent talk at KubeCon+Cloud NativeCon Europe 2023, as reported by Loraine Lawson.
“The cloud now has a bigger carbon footprint than the entire airline industry,” said Gibson, who along with Mary Karroqe, presented a talk on how development practices can impact the environment.
“We’re at KubeCon, so you all know the benefits of Kubernetes at scale,” the presenters said, “but we just wanted to highlight that those benefits are also environmental.” For example, Karroqe said, improved DevOps efficiency can mean that a company’s “energy usage is lower, their cost is lower, and they’re using less resources from those data centers.”
Thus, using Kubernetes can have an effect on the environmental impact of development, the presenters said, especially in conjunction with upstream projects and other efforts.
