GreenOps means maximising the value of your cloud provisions for sustainability as well as typical considerations like performance, security, and cost.
This waste reduction philosophy is highly aligned with FinOps. The first step is meaningful observability, but as the GreenOps team matures, it looks for opportunities to build and reorganise cloud infrastructure for sustainability.
With over 30% of cloud use estimated to be wasted, the urgency for GreenOps is greater than ever. Here’s how you can get started with GreenOps within your organisation.
Whether you are implementing GreenOps within your own enterprise cloud team or looking to improve your FinOps offering to clients, the first step is to secure a solid foundation of actionable emissions data.
Looking to measure your own cloud emissions?
If you’ve been practicing FinOps, high quality emissions data can quantify the environmental wins you've already achieved.
GPX Data allows Greenpixie’s customers to measure their historic usage data and develop an understanding of how past actions have shaped their carbon footprint in the cloud.
Looking for combined FinOps and GreenOps services?
After an initial assessment of your historic cloud emissions (and the sustainability impact of your FinOps) your team is ready to follow the inform, optimize and operate of GreenOps.
This approach will be familiar to FinOps teams and its principles apply to a successful GreenOps journey.
