Environmental impact is no longer a secondary concern but a legal and financial imperative that dictates how businesses procure and manage their digital infrastructure.

GreenOps takes us beyond cost-saving (FinOps), to treating carbon as a primary architectural constraint, considering cloud operations and environmental sustainability. 

The practical implementation of these goals often centers on the Internal Developer Platform (IDP), which acts as a bridge between high-level compliance targets and daily engineering tasks. By embedding ‘Golden Paths’ – pre-configured, carbon-aware infrastructure templates – the IDP empowers developers to automate sustainable choices without increasing their cognitive load or slowing down feature delivery. All in a transparent way. 

This “shift-left” approach to sustainability ensures that environmental responsibility is built into the software lifecycle and the engineering culture from the start, rather than being an afterthought managed by a separate sustainability department.

Join the panel and learn:

  • The GreenOps Lifecycle: from carbon intensity, energy efficiency in code, hardware utilization, to operational strategies.
  • How to embed ‘carbon gates’ into the CI/CD pipeline.
  • How to build ‘golden paths’ to reduce cognitive load and enable self-service.
  • How to do it all in an audit-ready way to make sure you cut carbon and comply.
