Sustainability Through Accountability in a CNCF Ecosystem

Explore how to achieve sustainability through accountability in a CNCF ecosystem in this 30-minute conference talk by Yuval Lifshitz and Huamin Chen from Red Hat. Delve into the challenges of carbon footprint and energy consumption accounting in multi-tenant services for cloud-native computing. Learn how CNCF projects can be leveraged to address these challenges, with a focus on the Rook operator and its orchestration of the Ceph storage system. Discover the recent addition of tracing capabilities to Ceph using Open Telemetry client and Jaeger backend. Examine the innovative approach of combining per-pod energy consumption data from Kepler with tracing information from Jaeger to estimate individual user energy consumption in storage systems, even when spread across multiple pods. Gain insights into building sustainable computing futures within the CNCF ecosystem, benefiting both end users and developers while inspiring further innovations in the field.
