Inspired by the Keynote at #unKonf: "Sustainability in IT" by @ufried

A good start is to monitor power consumption so I'm starting to build a dashboard with the power readouts of our servers using ipmitool.

Patterns of sustainability - Going green in IT

This slide deck addresses four questions: 1. Is Green IT a relevant topic? (Yes, it is) 2. Is Software a significant contributor to the ecological footprint of IT? (Yes, it is) 3. What can we do as software engineers working in different roles to reduce the ecological footprint of IT? (A lot) 4. Is Green IT the only relevant topic of the upcoming years? (No, it is part of a bigger challenge) As a lot of studies and presentations already exist that address the first and second question in depth, this slide deck keeps these parts short. The main focus is on the third question. Here, a lot of patterns are presented that software engineers can use in different roles to reduce the ecological footprint of IT. Finally, the topic "Green IT" is embedded in a bigger picture describing the core challenges, IT faces in a more and more uncertain VUCA world while becoming more and more indispensable at the same time. Still, as the focus of this presentation is on the patterns of the third part, this part is also kept short. At the end, a lot of references that were used when preparing this presentations are included for everyone who would like to dig deeper into the topic. As always, the voice track is missing. Hopefully, this slide deck still gives you some useful ideas to ponder ...
