How to Get Involved in CNCF Environmental Sustainability TAG - Marlow Weston, Intel & Huamin Chen, Red Hat
In September of 2022, the Environmental Sustainability Technical Advisory Group (TAG) was created within the CNCF. The charter was worked on by many members of the community with passion for minimizing carbon consumption. The TAG was created to advocate, develop, support, and help evaluate environmental sustainability initiatives within cloud native technologies.
Hear from the one of the TAG co-chairs and a community contributor on the CNCF community the TAG’s charter and scope, introduce ongoing and planned initiatives, and answer questions from the community.
In this session, we will discuss in detail the goals of the TAG, share how it will identify values and incentives for service providers to reduce their consumption and carbon footprint through cloud native tooling, and discuss how you can become involved.
A
A

Okay,
hi
welcome
to
the
first
talk.
Well,
we'll
have
some
technical
difficulties
by
the
environmental
sustainability
tag
we're
here,
because
sustainability
is
becoming
increasingly
important,
whether
you
are
about
carbon
or
merely
the
cost
of
rent
or
trying
to
reduce
the
cost
of
running
your
data
center
in
the
cloud
in
these
odd
times,
power
is
becoming
increasingly
expensive
and
you're
in
the
correct
place.
B
A
And
we
saw
my
project
I
want
to
across
during
this
journey
of
creating
this
tag.
We
have
been
meeting
with
defense
volunteers
for
different
companies
and
around
the
world,
and
I
saw
my
project
to
introduced
folks
here
and
Tony
Ariel
Cara
Johan,
William,
Laura,
Nikki,
Scotts,
Chan
and
Peru,
who
has
been
with
us
for
a
long
time
now
we
have
been
discussing
with
this
community
contributors
on
different
agendas,
share
with
them
the
passions
and
share
with
them
the
Visions.
So
they
have
been
contributing
projects,
ideas
and
roadmaps
to
this
tag.
A
B
It's
fine.
So
let's
talk
about
some
definitions.
So
when
we
start
talking
about
scope,
that's
where
we're
talking
about
where
your
carbon
emissions
come
from,
so
scope,
one
is
sources
controlled
or
owned
by
the
organization
scope.
2
is
caused
by
production
of
energy
purchased
and
used
by
the
organization.
That's
the
energy
you're,
paying
for
to
run
your
your
Hardware
or
your
Cooling,
and
then
scope
3
is
caused
by
providers
of
services
or
products
consumed
by
the
organization.
Scope.
A
Yeah,
so
that's
also
to
share
with
you
certain
aspects
of
the
cloud
native
and
copying
machine
reduction.
So
one
of
the
things
you
think
about
is
the
carbon
come
from.
The
carbon
actually
has
been
measured
in
many
mountains
for
different
ways.
If
you
are
looking
across
the
continents,
not
every
continents
have
same
amounts
of
carbon
intensity
and
over
time,
you'll
see
this
carbon
intensity
changes
with
the
introduction
of
new
wind
power,
kaiso
Power
Nuclear
generators,
and
they
are
the
generous
ones.
A
If
you
are
going
to
the
sources
we
listed
here,
the
generous
funds
is
more
and
more
continents
and
countries
are
reducing
the
carbon
intensity
but
they're
still
unbalanced.
The
other
aspects
of
the
carbon
intensity
is
that
they
actually
vary
between
hours
of
the
day.
If
you
are
using
your
Iraq
switch,
that's
nice,
you
may
have
less
product
in
intensity
than
during
the
day,
which
is
understandable,
because
not
all
the
generators
come
on
at
the
same
time,
and
not
all
the
cloud
Source
are
available,
solar
and
wind
power.
A
And
I
also
want
to
share
with
the
other
discoveries,
and
we
also
over
the
times
the
north
of
the,
not
all
the
workloads
and
not
all
the
settings
in
the
data.
Centers
are
the
same.
What
makes
the
differences
between
the
data
centers
and
the
workloads
is?
That's
a
do
you
have
do
you
have
the
virtualization
or
not,
and
what
kind
of
workloads
you
are
running?
Are
you
running
like
the
stateless,
stateful
or
service
workloads
this?
A
A
The
power
efficiency
in
terms
of
power
utilization
Effectiveness
is
different
and
the
workloads,
if
you
are
running,
for
example,
the
database
running
for
a
long
time,
using
a
lot
of
CPU
a
lot
of
memory,
this
type
of
workloads
will
consume
a
lot
of
energy
can.
Consequently,
the
powerful
screens
is
also
bigger.
If
you
go
to
public
and
private
Cloud,
the
differences
will
be
even
bigger
in
as
we
are
going
to
see
in
our
later
slides.
A
So
the
one
of
the
top
priority
for
us
is
to
understand
all
these
things.
How
do
we
get
these
things?
We
use
metrics,
the
Mavericks
we
are
also
we
are
talking
about
different
level
of
metrics.
One
is
all
the
power
as
the
grid
level.
This
part
of
the
carbon
intensity
can
be
measured
in
different
ways.
One
is
how
much
faster
fuel
used
in
the
power
generation
and,
what's
the
you
know,
even
that
is
not
good
enough,
because
the
fossil
fuels
consist
of
of
a
possible
cold
or
just
natural
gas.
They
have
different
carbon
intensity.
A
The
carbon
intensity
metrics,
which
are
provided
by
many
of
the
grid
program,
electricity
generators
they
are
closer
Matrix
or
where
I
want
to
collects
just
based
on
the
information
they
can
provide
to
us
to
imagine
how
much
carbon
used
in
per
kilowatts
per
hour.
The
ranges
varies
across
the
continents.
As
we
see
it's
some
something
anywhere
between
500
to
700
kilos
per
kilowatts
hour
and
our
data
centers,
they
could
be
have
a
difference.
L
you
have
a
different
Matrix
and
all
the
way.
B
B
The
second
place
is:
where
do
you
place
your
workloads,
so
in
truck
luster?
So
if
you
have
everyone's
seen
this
heterogeneous
type
of
system,
where
you
have
different
types
of
CPUs,
you
have
mixed
CPUs.
You
have
an
area
with
an
accelerator
Fabric,
and
then
you
want
to
land
your
workloads
accordingly.
So
you
might
put
your
microservices
on
that
first
node,
which
is
had
a
particular
type
of
CPU,
your
mixed
workloads
on
your
Center
one,
which
has
both
efficiency
cores
and
performance
cores
and
your
AI
workload
over
on
the
one
with
attached
to
the
accelerator
fabric.
B
Similarly,
when
you're
looking
at
intra
cluster
scheduling,
if
you
have
CPUs
that
are
running
hot
because
30
to
50
percent
of
your,
your
energy
within
your
data
center
goes
to
Cooling.
And
then
maybe
you
don't
want
to
schedule
to
that.
First
node.
Maybe
you
want
to
schedule
to
that
Center
node
and
try
to
keep
your
hot
spots
to
a
minimum.
B
B
A
How
could
that
happen?
It
depends
on
two
scenes:
what's
the
ambient
temperature
you
want
to
set,
you
could
usually
data
center
recommendation
is
that
you
can
search
as
18
anywhere
between
18
to
75
Southeast,
but
depends
that's
where
how
much
the
cost
the
higher
the
temperature,
the
more
likely
they
are
going
to
be
overheas
and
thus
will
come
to
the
life
cycle
of
the
hardware.
You
don't
want
to
overheat,
your
Hardware.
A
The
second
is
that,
depending
on
the
techniques
you
are
used
for
heating,
is
that
you're,
using
or
just
a
liquid
creating
they
have
different
impacts
of
efficiencies
and
as
well,
energy
consumption
of
the
heating
system.
The
other
way
is
the
very
last
one
is
that
do
use
a
Smart
Control,
one
of
the
best
practice
from
Google
data
center
data
a
few
years
ago
by
DPI
is,
if
you
are
taking
into
account
of
taking
all
these
inputs
from
iot
sensors.
You
can
reduce
the
data
center
coolings
by
as
much
as
40.
That's
a
huge
savings.
B
B
B
So
this
is
what
we
came
up
with,
so
we
want
to
identify
Define
and
develop
tooling,
to
assess
and
improve
environmental
sustainability
approaches,
including
quantify
the
energy
consumption
of
cloud
native
implementations
individually,
as
well
as
in
common
integration
patterns.
We
don't
have
stuff
like
this,
yet
recommendations
and
strategies
to
develop
package,
distribute,
deploy
and
operate.
Cloud
native
implementations
to
reduce
energy
consumption.
B
I
won't
read
the
rest
of
you.
It's
all
the
same
bucket
and
capabilities
benchmarks
and
processes
to
evaluate
technological
and
Architectural
health
of
projects.
There's
already
some
work
for
this
in
the
green
software
Foundation
as
far
as
some
amount
of
measurements,
but
we
need
we
need
stuff,
that's
specific
to
Cloud
community
outreach
and
engagement
on
the
work
of
this
tag.
B
Next
piece
is
out
of
scope:
we're
not
forming
an
umbrella
organization
beyond
the
cncf,
the
scope
is
huge,
just
within
Cloud
native.
We
do
not
have
the
time,
at
least
within
all
of
our
work
days.
In
order
to
get
all
this
done,
we
don't
want
to
establish
a
compliance
and
standards
body
beyond
the
cloud
native
space.
There
are
people
already
working
in
that
area.
Let's
leave
it
to
them,
but
we
will
collaborate
with
them.
We
won't
evaluate
individual
company
infrastructures,
so
that's
probably
a
good
business
opportunity
for
someone
who
wants
to
go.
B
We
have
a
set
of
deliverables.
The
first
one
as
a
tag
is
a
landscape
for
carbon
Energy.
Efficiency
we've
already
started
this
document.
If
anyone
wants
to
engage,
we
have
a
QR
code,
so
you
can
come
in
and
if
you
or
you
can
contact
me
and
I
can
get
you
into
the
hack
MD,
where
we're
trying
to
collaborate
quicker,
but
GitHub
is
fine
as
well.
B
We
want
to
do
recommendations
and
optimizations
to
new
and
existing
projects
within
the
landscape.
So
we'll
help
you
as
we
can
and
use
a
community
expertise.
We
wish
to
do
reports
on
gaps
in
the
environmental
sustainability
coverage
of
the
landscape.
All
these
tools
are
fairly
new.
There's
nothing!
That's
very
well
established
at
this
point
that
I
know
of,
and
we've
been
looking
for,
a
while
reviews,
inputs
and
recommendations
for
proposed
projects
for
cncf,
hosting
and
advancement,
and
suggestions
for
improvements
for
cncf
internal
processes,
for
example,
education
for
sustainability,.
B
So
here's
a
QR
code
to
the
landscape
dock.
So
now
you
can
get
out
your
phones
and
pull
in
information.
We
are
looking
for
active
contributors,
as
I
said
you
can
reach
out
to
me
directly
I'm
on
cncs,
lock,
I'm
on
kubernetes,
Slack,
anytime,
wamina's
also,
and
is
also
very
helpful.
So
if
you're
in
a
you
know,
if
you're
in
Europe
and
Oh
no
you're
you're
here
we
have
some.
We
also
have
the
Europeans
the
other
two
tag:
chairs
they're
in
Europe.
B
A
So
we
do
not
only
illustrates
how
we
are
going
to
contribute
that
happen,
so
we
want
people,
donate
projects,
donate
Technologies,
donates,
a
consumers
to
the
regions
and
the
directions
one
of
the
best
ways,
in
my
opinion,
because
the
cncf
is
all
about
Innovation
and
incubation,
so
we
make
the
projects
happen.
First,
the
projects
here
were
listed
are
may
not
necessarily
be
limited
to
what
we
are
doing
and
the
space
will
experience
exploration.
So
capital
is
a
project
towards
that
one
of
the
direction
we
just
met.
How
do
we
risk
a
matrix?
A
How
do
we
collect
metrics
and
how
can
we
use
the
metrics
to
optimize
energy
consumption
in
data
centers?
So
this
is
one
of
the
projects
we're
going
to
have
more
opportunity
to
present
to
you
in
the
coming
days
and
around
that's
right.
The
summer
of
cncf
projects
has
already
been
working
towards
the
sustainability
angles.
One
of
the
things
you
have
already
maybe
already
talked
unattended
to
the
talk
provided
by
Nikki,
is
about
how
do
we
make
the
our
cscd
pipelines
Greener
using
flux
and
using
some
of
the
metrics
we
are?
A
We
can
collect
from
projects
like
Kepler
to
present
to
the
energy
consumption
and
you
can
use
the
heuristics
to
optimize
and
fine-tune
your
workload
deployments
or
across
the
deployments
and
yes,
another
one
is
the
collaboration.
One
of
the
examples
we
can
use
for
collaborations
that
we
work
with
pre-existing
communities
and
we
want
to
identify
the
use
cases
in
desk
projects.
How
can
we
incorporate
some
of
the
ideas
for
event,
carbon
reduction,
energy
consumption
to
improve
the
sustainability
impacts
of
the
compute
workloads
of
the
framework?
B
Additionally,
there
will
be
a
group
of
us
meeting
outside
of
room
620
from
10
30
to
noon
tomorrow,
directly
after
the
Keynotes.
It's
all
the
way
at
the
end
of
the
hallway
up,
you
know
beyond
the
keynote
room,
and
so
if
you
want
to
talk
to
us
and
have
discussions
and
get
in
more
information,
you're
also
welcome
to
go
there
and
here's
a
link
to
our
Twitter
page.
B
We
have
a
Twitter,
it
does
not
yet
have
a
icon,
so
we're
still
waiting
for
a
logo
from
the
CNC
off
they've
been
really
helpful
in
getting
us
started.
We
did
just
start
directly
before
this,
so
asking
for
a
logo.
You
know
the
week
before.
Wasn't
a
reasonable
ask
but
we'll
get
to
it
when
we
get
to
it
foreign.
A
A
B
We've
also
had
some
discussions
about
starting
a
podcast,
so
we
can
start
doing
like
a
monthly
highlight
or
or
getting
that
Twitter
more
active.
So
we
can
start
twittering
out.
You
know
sustainability
projects.
So
if
you
have
some
ideas
of
things
you
want
to
do,
please
show
up
to
the
meeting
we're
glad
to
have
you
there
we're
glad
to
intake
we're
still
brand
new,
so
we're
still
figuring
out
what
our
structure
is
so
we're
happy
to
enable.
However,
we
can.
B
It's
to
find
members,
but
also
start
working
on
those
deliverables,
so
we
already
have
some
places
to
to
put
effort.
So
we
have
the
landscape
dock
that
I
referenced,
there's
also
a
glossary,
so
we're
trying
to
get
a
glossary
of
terms,
so
we
make
sure
we're
talking
about
the
same
things
across
the
board.
So
if
someone
says
you
know
scope
one,
we
all
know
that
we're
talking
about
scope,
one
right
so
there's
already
places
to
land
today,
there's
already
some
projects
in
motion.
B
A
Another
continuous
line,
just
so,
if
you're,
seeing
other
cncf
practice
or
the
tech
practices,
and
they
also
have
creating
these
projects
and
based
on
projects.
There
are
certain
ways
you
can
can
switch
to
like,
for
example,
the
tech
security
they
have.
Certain
projects
are
listed
and
there
was
going
to
be
members
over
there
as
well.
So
yeah
that's
going
to
be
a
certain
ways.
You
can
create
model
and
address
of
the
chills
and
probably
think
about
the
charter
and
the
organization.
How
that
can
be
done.
