Eco Mode: Building Green Solutions on Azure
IT now accounts for roughly 4 % of global CO₂ emissions — more than the aviation industry. As software professionals, we have both the opportunity and the responsibility to make our digital solutions more sustainable. But what does “green software development” really mean in practice?
In this session, we’ll explore how you can design, build, and run cloud solutions on Microsoft Azure that actively reduce their environmental footprint. You’ll discover how architectural choices, coding practices, and deployment models directly influence energy consumption and emissions — and how to measure and improve them using Azure’s sustainability tooling.
