Building Green Software Part 4: Operational Efficiency • Anne Currie
Discover the importance of operational efficiency in software development, including strategies for reducing energy consumption, improving resource utilization, and adopting innovative approaches like serverless computing and DevOps.
- Operational efficiency is more important than code efficiency in terms of urgency and importance.
- Over-provisioning is a major issue in the software industry, and reducing it can lead to significant cost savings and environmental benefits.
- Right-sizing applications and VMs can help reduce energy consumption and improve resource utilization.
- Auto-scaling and burstable instances are effective ways to reduce energy consumption and improve resource utilization.
- Implementing operational efficiency is more important than implementing code efficiency, as it is more fundamental to the software development process.
- Light switch ops is an idea being championed by Holly Cummins, which involves turning machines on and off as needed, without fear of downtime.
- Serverless computing can also help reduce energy consumption and improve resource utilization.
- Google’s SRE principles are worth studying for insight into how to improve operational efficiency.
- Commoditization of code efficiency is already happening, and it will continue to improve as developers focus on improving operational efficiency.
- DevOps and SRE are closely related to operational efficiency, and involve automating processes and shifting the focus to improving productivity.
- Machine utilization is a key concept in improving operational efficiency, and involves reducing energy consumption and improving resource utilization.
- There are various techniques for improving operational efficiency, including right-sizing, auto-scaling, and burstable instances.
- The concept of light switch ops is a powerful idea for improving operational efficiency, and involves turning machines on and off as needed.
- Code efficiency is important, but it is not as fundamental or urgent as improving operational efficiency.
