Last week I spoke with Tom Kennes, sustainable cloud consultant and ambassador for the Sustainable Digital Infrastructure Alliance (SDIA). We discussed how IT and software delivery can be more sustainable and the energy used when Ronaldo posts on Instagram.
We also talked about the impact of programming language choice on carbon footprint, the carbon impact of watching Netflix and how to right-size your cloud infrastructure.
Lots to dive into for the techies, with tools that are available to measure the impact of the software you build and deliver. There are some great practical tips for individuals and organisations alike.
