Architecting for a Greener Future
summary
Claims that operational efficiency is the fastest, practical lever: measure and reduce idle waste, delete zombie resources, and apply light‑switch ops so environments are trivial to recreate. Use the Green Software Foundation’s green software maturity matrix to prioritize steps, right‑size instances, and autoscale both up and down. Time‑shift or move batch work to low‑carbon windows or regions (time‑shift workloads), pick energy‑efficient CPUs (eg Graviton ~40% gain) and prefer serverless where it truly fits.
