Sustainability Focus: Cloud Efficiency, Not Carbon EmissionsCategory: Microsoft, Infrastructure, Architecture
https://www.linkedin.com/in/jan-st%C3%BCcke/ There are many globally pervasive applications today — Netflix, Zoom and TikTok, https://www.purdue.edu/newsroom/releases/2021/Q1/turn-off-that-camera-during-virtual-meetings,-environmental-study-says.html — that use large amounts of computing power. So yes, carbon emissions of data centers and growing internet traffic is, of course, a problem.
Where the collective “we” should be focused on is reducing the resource needs of the cloud-based digital products we code today and tomorrow. This article will take a look at hidden carbon costs, risks associated with the rising energy consumption of data centers, what the major cloud providers are already doing and how resource efficiency in the cloud is achievable.
Despite many carbon-related issues with cloud technology, it is not the carbon emission, but rather the https://energyinnovation.org/2020/03/17/how-much-energy-do-data-centers-really-use/ to run cloud-based applications that’s worrisome.
