As part of the Open Source Community, we're not just crafting lines of code; we're crafting a narrative of responsibility, consciousness and reduction. In this talk, we are going through the tangible actions we can take to reduce our carbon footprints and enhance regulatory compliance. With the introduction of ‘Fit for 55’, the EU’s regulatory framework on reducing carbon emissions, this talk is the ultimate jumpstart for the conscientious Kubernetes cluster management that is pivotal in building a more sustainable future. Whether you’re an engineer or manager, this talk will empower you to make more conscious everyday decisions when creating and deploying your systems as well as more sustainable long-term, architectural decisions.
