GreenOps: the cloud footprint, on the same basis as the bill
We read the emissions published by your cloud provider, attach them to the same entities, applications and environments as your costs, and track the levers that lower both the bill and the footprint.
This is your situation if
- Your Green IT lead asks for indicators on the cloud
- Your provider's figures exist, but are tied to no entity and to no cost
- You are looking for levers that lower the bill and the footprint at the same time
Format
Embedded: the monthly measurement on a fixed date and the commentary on variances, within steering.
Fixed scope: the first measurement and the definitions, within the audit.
The product alongside: the Green IT indicators regenerated at every collection; importing the emissions into our app is planned.
Scope: the infrastructure of your public clouds. Out of scope: SaaS, on-premises, energy of AI calls.
Euros and emissions, side by side
Two steering indicators
Share of correctly sized VMs and share of non-production shut down at night and at weekends, by entity.
The emissions published by your provider
Attached to the same entities, applications and environments as your costs, with their month, their method and their model version.
Spend intensity
Emissions and euros shown side by side, never added together.
Written definitions
Validated with your Green IT lead, and a workbook in formulas where every VM and every threshold can be checked.
An honest measurement, not a label
- Neither a regulatory emissions statement nor non-financial reporting on your behalf
- No in-house emission factor: the reference value is your provider's
- No avoided emission announced before the provider's measurement confirms it
- Changing region can cost more; commitments lower the bill, not the emissions
The same measurement, at your scale
By entity, for group reporting
Definitions validated with your Green IT lead, calendar aligned with the provider's publication, handover to group reporting.
Large enterprisesA first reading in the audit
The month's emissions, intensity per euro spent, three levers that also lower the bill.
SMEs and scale-upsBy end client, in pilot
When each client has its own subscriptions or projects; a shared infrastructure is split by cost and flagged as such.
