Sustainable Cloud Operations - Kubernetes is the GreenOps Framework You're Looking For

Learn how to implement sustainable cloud operations using Kubernetes as a GreenOps framework in this 17-minute conference talk by Francesco Lumpp from the OpenInfra Foundation. Discover an open source framework that leverages environmental intelligence to reduce waste, lower costs, and embed sustainability into platform strategies as regulations become increasingly strict. Explore how self-service internal developer platforms require real-time insights into infrastructure costs and resource efficiency to detect emerging inefficiencies before they become significant cost surges. Understand how the framework exposes hidden inefficiencies such as unnecessary overnight VM usage and suboptimal timing for energy-intensive tasks, directing workloads to run when and where energy is cleaner. Master the integration of Kubernetes, Prometheus, CrateDB, and Open Policy Agent to export standardized usage data, automate resource right-sizing, and deliver instant feedback for smarter and greener decision-making in cloud operations.
