✏️ Title: DevOps++: Embedding Sustainability into Everyday Software Engineering
💡 Speaker: Wilco Burggraaf
🍃 Summary
Sustainable IT is no longer just about measuring hardware efficiency or calculating CO2 emissions. It is about transforming the way we build, run, and evolve software. While tools exist to track energy consumption, many DevOps teams, architects, and IT leaders still struggle with the critical question of what they can actually do in their daily work to make software greener. In this talk, I introduce DevOps++, a practical framework that embeds sustainability directly into the development lifecycle. From coding and testing to infrastructure provisioning, observability, and continuous improvement, DevOps++ provides concrete steps to identify, act on, and measure opportunities for energy and carbon reduction. By integrating green practices into established workflows, teams can make meaningful architectural, coding, and operational choices that drive efficiency and long-term sustainability without sacrificing performance or agility. Attendees will leave with actionable insights and tools to optimize code and infrastructure for lower energy use, align architectural decisions with sustainability goals, and evolve DevOps practices to support greener software delivery. This approach is not about adding new tasks, but about reshaping the way we already work to deliver software that lasts, performs, and reduces impact on our planet.
