• Sustainability in the technology space requires reducing emissions while facing greater demand to build scalable applications
• Green software principles include energy efficiency, hardware efficiency, and carbon awareness
• Carbon intensity is the measure of the amount of carbon produced in order for the energy that we use to be created
• The carbon-aware scalar for KEDA uses demand shaping to scale workloads based on the carbon intensity of the infrastructure where they're running
• The carbon-aware scalar is implemented using a Kubernetes operator that reads infrastructure provider's data from a config map
• The carbon-aware scalar is an open-source wrapper for public sources of data
• The carbon-aware scalar allows users to define carbon emission thresholds and maximum replicas
• The project is being developed for CADA core and users are encouraged to join the sustainability efforts
