Cycloid is proud to present Cloud Carbon Footprint, our own cloud carbon emissions module integrated with our established FinOps solution. We’re taking a unique GreenOps + FinOps approach to monitoring cloud computing emissions by connecting your emissions data to your cloud expenses so you see both costs to your budget and the cost to the environment in the same place. We’re hoping this approach will promote a culture of sobriety, where companies will start making more environmentally conscious decisions by reducing the amount of cloud waste.

Why the World Needs GreenOps for Sustainability
With COP27 just around the corner, the world is once again set to come together to try to
find a solution to the climate emergency. Given the heat we saw this summer in Europe, it’s
fair to say that urgent action needs to be taken, not just by governments or those in the
energy industry, but by all of us. The IT world is no different and has its own role to play –
for those of us working in IT, that role comes partly in the form of adopting GreenOps. So
what is GreenOps, and why does the world need it?
According to the University of Oxford, a single standard desktop computer operated over a
period of 6 years produces an annual carbon footprint of 778kg of CO2. Emissions from cloud computing are often overlooked, but they actually range from 2.5% to 3.7% of all global greenhouse gas emissions, thereby exceeding emissions from commercial flights (about 2.4%) and other existential activities that fuel our global economy.
Cloud cost management – FinOps just got built-in!
Cycloid’s delighted to launch their cloud cost management module, the next iteration of Cost Estimation, and the tool that’s going to help you and your team see exactly how, where, and when your cloud budget is being spent.
Tick-tock goes the FinOps clock: introducing Cost Estimation
We know that to truly thrive in today’s business environment, you need agility. That means giving some of the control back to your devs, in order to allow them to make more agile, flexible decisions about your infra and the applications running on it. One thing you don’t want to give up control over, though? The bill for those oh-so-agile changes.
