Achieving sustainable growth with Azure and FinOps best practices
Companies worldwide are seeking to reduce their IT carbon footprint and achieve a more sustainable future by focusing on efficiency and cost optimization. Read this blog post for an in-depth look at two new tools from Microsoft Azure AI that will help your company optimize Azure emissions, align IT sustainability with ESG regulations, measure and reduce your overall emissions.
What is Azure Carbon Optimization?
Azure Carbon Optimization is a free tool available in the Azure portal that provides insights and recommendations for optimizing carbon emissions related to Azure usage. It allows engineering and IT teams to monitor their carbon footprint at a resource level, enabling them to make informed decisions to enhance cloud efficiency and reduce emissions.
How do Microsoft Azure emissions insights work?
Microsoft Azure emissions insights is a feature within Microsoft Fabric that helps unify and analyze emissions data from Azure usage. It enables data analysts to query emissions data, create detailed reports, and identify patterns over time, allowing organizations to better understand their carbon impact and make data-driven decisions for sustainability.
What role does FinOps play in carbon emission reduction?
The FinOps framework fosters a culture of accountability and efficiency across organizations, which is essential for managing cloud resources effectively. By integrating FinOps best practices, teams can optimize their cloud usage, adhere to environmental regulations, and make informed decisions that align with both financial and sustainability objectives.
