Driving cost-effective solutions to reduce carbon footprints
summary
Shows how partners cut cloud emissions by treating cost as a proxy for energy and by measuring real outcomes: use the Carbon Footprint Tool (data is accurate but lags ~3 months), add sustainability KPIs mapped to business units, and ingest CloudWatch metrics for real‑time observability. Offers a real case: TUI reduces compute by ~40% after KPI-driven right‑sizing. References Well‑Architected sustainability pillar (2021), recommends Graviton3 (up to 60% more energy‑efficient), EC2 Spot, and the Migration Evaluation Tool’s sustainability assessment.
