Cloud systems are essential to modern infrastructure but they come with a real energy and emissions cost. This event explores how engineers and technical teams can take measurable steps to reduce that impact without compromising performance.

Drawing from the Terra.do Sustainable Cloud Engineering course, Course Creator, Pascal Joly will be discussing:

• Where cloud emissions actually come from and how to measure them
• What to consider when choosing regions, instance types, and storage options
• How to align sustainability values with business objectives

This session is designed for engineers, architects, IT consultants, DevOps engineers and anyone involved in running cloud-based systems. You'll leave with practical approaches, not high-level pledges and a clearer sense of how sustainability can be part of your day-to-day technical work.
