Coming Soon: New Ebook on Cloud Sustainability

1 min read

As the effects of climate change escalate around the world, what role do software developers play in protecting the environment? More than you might think, particularly when it comes to the choices you make for your cloud infrastructure.

According to Charles Humble, one of The New Stack’s top contributors, sustainability should join cost, performance, security, regulatory concerns and reliability as one of the top-level considerations when optimizing your cloud workloads.

And his forthcoming ebook, “The Developer’s Guide to Cloud Infrastructure, Efficiency and Sustainability,” written in collaboration with AMD, Google and The New Stack, will dive deep into these topics. He’ll share his research and expertise on sustainable software, tools for measuring carbon emissions, ways to reduce the environmental impact of your software infrastructure, and the key trends that you need to consider going forward.
