DevOps++: Turning Green IT Ambition into Daily Engineering Actions
·OnlineOnlineMany organizations assume that moving workloads to renewable energy or buying efficient hardware is enough to become sustainable. In practice, software can run on green power and still waste energy through idle compute, over allocation, and inefficient design choices. This session reframes Green IT as an engineering discipline: reduce waste through concrete, repeatable actions and use CO2 as validation rather than the primary steering mechanism.
You will be introduced to DevOps++, a practical framework that embeds sustainability into the daily work of DevOps teams by integrating measurable sustainability actions directly into the delivery lifecycle. We will walk through the DevOps++ playbook: Detect, Expose, Fix, Validate. You will see how observability and AI can surface inefficiencies, how testing can make sustainability signals visible earlier, how pipelines can automate improvements in code and infrastructure as code, and how Ops and FinOps can validate outcomes using energy, emissions, cost, and performance. Attendees will leave with a clear, end to end approach to turn sustainability ambition into operational habits and measurable impact.
