Kube-green: Increase cloud software sustainability reducing CO2 footprint

Software development is having a huge impact on the environment. To help reduce the cloud native carbon footprint, I developed kube-green, an open source Kubernetes controller on GitHub. In this talk I will explain how kube-green works, showcase some real use case results, and discuss how to include it in your clusters.‍
Talk abstract

Software development is having a huge impact on the environment. For example, Bitcoin produces between 22 and 22.9 million tons of CO2. While Minecraft ranks first place as the best-selling and most polluting video game of all time, with CO2 emissions totalling 600 million Kg.

The developers who created this software had no idea they would have such an impact on world climate. Now, however, is the time to think about the future.

For this reason I developed kube-green, an open-source Kubernetes controller on GitHub which aims to reduce the cloud native carbon footprint. 

In this talk, you will learn:

  • Software development impact on the environment
  • How developers and Ops can reduce carbon footprint
  • How to use kube-green, an open-source software designed to reduce your climate impact

Abstracting Kubernetes and setting standards with internal developer portals
Developers find it difficult to manage Kubernetes, let alone understand it when troubleshooting or developing in a shift left world. Internal developer portals can be used to abstract and whitelist K8s data and set standards through scorecards.

How to deploy Kotlin applications to Kubernetes without Dockerfiles
In this talk Lothar shares how to create docker images with Kotlin and Gradle only. Lothar will showcase a ktor application as well as create and deploy a Docker image that contains the application to a Kubernetes cluster. The deployment happens on the command line only - every code change will trigger an instant deployment of a newly created Docker image to a Kubernetes cluster.
