The internet accounts for an estimated 3–4% of global emissions — equivalent to some countries. The carbon emissions of the internet are roughly equivalent to those generated by the entire aviation industry, or the whole of Africa. For example, changing our database architecture to be more efficient could save on server costs.

DevOps is not a single system, rather it is a combination of many processes – testing, deployment, production, etc – thus, it’s better termed as a ‘distributed infrastructure’. Cloud-based solutions help to easily centralize all the distributed systems and processes and can be managed from the same place anywhere, anytime.
