Most Kubernetes clusters in the cloud (73%) are built on top of managed distributions from the hyperscalers like AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), or Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). Accordingly, the remaining 27% of clusters are self-managed by the customer on cloud virtual machines.

Cloud providers then manage physical hardware, virtual machines, and web server software management. Cloud providers such as Google, Amazon Web Services, and Microsoft also followed suit with frameworks such as Google Cloud Functions , AWS Lambda , and Microsoft Azure Functions. How does function as a service work?

Organizations hit this cloud operations wall when replacing static virtual machines with dynamic container orchestration and expanding to multicloud environments. While modern cloud systems simplify tasks — such as deploying apps and provisioning new hardware and servers — cloud environments can be surprisingly complex.

In the simplest case, you have a growing workload, and you optimize it to run more efficiently so that you don’t need to buy or rent additional hardware, so your carbon footprint stays the same, but the carbon per transaction or operation is going down.

That pricing won’t be sustainable, particularly as hardware shortages drive up the cost of building infrastructure. These models are typically smaller (7 to 14 billion parameters) and easier to fine-tune, and they can run on very limited hardware; many can run on laptops, cell phones, or nanocomputers such as the Raspberry Pi.
