jm[The maintainance team's] knowledge is only worth so much, however. The real challenge is creating an economic system that values labor outside of profit-driven production. Many have rightfully called for a revaluing of care work in recent years. Maintenance workers deserve a similar revival in attention — but not only that. The price mechanism, and the labor system built around it, is fundamentally opposed to maintenance, both in its narrowest practical applications and in its broadest philosophical implications. The fact that the failures of capitalism happened to encourage maintenance practices at the margins is not worth emulating, and we shouldn’t be waiting around for climate change to recreate that austerity at a global scale. It must be valued on its own terms, and that means tearing down the economic system that rejects it.

We thought about how we might be able to estimate our energy consumption in Google Cloud using the data we do have: Google provides us with usage data that shows us how many virtual CPU (Central Processing Unit) seconds we used, how much memory we requested for our servers, how many terabytes of data we have stored for how long, and how much networking traffic we were responsible for.
Our supposition was that if we could come up with general estimates for how many watt-hours (Wh) compute, storage and networking draw in a cloud environment, particularly based on public information, then we could apply those coefficients to our usage data to get at least a rough estimate of our cloud computing energy impact.
We are calling this set of estimated conversion factors Cloud Jewels. Other cloud computing consumers can look at this and see how it might work with their own energy usage across providers and usage data. The goal is to help cloud users across the industry to help refine our estimates, and ultimately help us encourage cloud providers to empower their customers with more accurate cloud energy consumption data.
This is a good interim step, but it's disappointing how inaccurate the CO2 data exposed by cloud providers is. IMO this needs to be fixed]]>climate co2 google cloud aws etsy estimation cloud-jewels sustainabilityhttps://pinboard.in/https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:e6277c4d2cc9/New – Customer Carbon Footprint Tool | AWS News Blog2022-03-02T14:39:20+00:00

jmThere are now a number of groups and foundations pushing a green agenda for developers. [...] The most obvious players who are specifically focussed on software and operations appear to be:
The Green Software Foundation (a Linux Foundation started with Microsoft). [...]
The Green Web Foundation (a not-for-profit group).
Amazon, through their sustainability initiative.
The EU’s Sustainable Digital Infrastructure Alliance (SDIA).
OpenUK (a not-for-profit organisation).

jmDigitalOcean is a fantastically simple provider of cloud hosting services with transparent pricing. Regrettably, they're less transparent about their green credentials. [jm: you should see AWS....]
This post is a living document explaining which DigitalOcean data centres we think are green. This is surmised data through support requests, community notes, and some assumptions, and maybe incorrect.

https://blog.cloudflare.com/announcing-green-compute/
jmGreen Compute can be enabled for any Cron triggered Workers. The concept is simple: when turned on, we’ll take your compute workload and run it exclusively on parts of our edge network located in facilities powered by renewable energy. Even though all of Cloudflare’s edge network is powered by renewable energy already, some of our data centers are located in third-party facilities that are not 100% powered by renewable energy. Green Compute takes our commitment to sustainability one step further by ensuring that not only our network equipment but also the building facility as a whole are powered by renewable energy. There are absolutely no code changes needed.
Note, this allows you to ensure that your code is executed *only* using renewable energy sources, not just offsetting!]]>green climate-change renewable-energy energy hosting cloudflare cron sustainabilityhttps://pinboard.in/https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:422bb9da7ccd/What are Scope 3 emissions?2021-05-27T09:44:21+00:00

https://blog.google/inside-google/infrastructure/data-centers-work-harder-sun-shines-wind-blows
jmOur latest advancement in sustainability, developed by a small team of engineers, is a new carbon-intelligent computing platform. We designed and deployed this first-of-its kind system for our hyperscale (meaning very large) data centers to shift the timing of many compute tasks to when low-carbon power sources, like wind and solar, are most plentiful. This is done without additional computer hardware and without impacting the performance of Google services like Search, Maps and YouTube that people rely on around the clock. Shifting the timing of non-urgent compute tasks—like creating new filter features on Google Photos, YouTube video processing, or adding new words to Google Translate—helps reduce the electrical grid’s carbon footprint, getting us closer to 24x7 carbon-free energy.

jmThen the activists saw an article in Gizmodo, a technology news site, that outlined how Amazon’s cloud computing division was building special offerings for oil and gas companies. On its website, Amazon says its customers include BP and Royal Dutch Shell, and its products can “find oil faster,” “recover more oil” and “reduce the cost per barrel.”
In a second meeting with Amazon, the workers raised the oil industry connections with the company’s sustainability team; its members did not seem to be aware of the business, according to several employees at the meeting.
“That really showed us Amazon is not taking climate change seriously if the highest levels of the sustainability team are not even aware that we have an oil and gas business,” said Ms. Cunningham, who was at the meeting.
