Our audience is particularly strong in the software (20% of respondents), computer hardware (4%), and computer security (2%) industries—over 25% of the total. As Figure 3 shows, the percentage of men and women respondents who saw no change was virtually identical (18%). Google Cloud is an obvious omission from this story.

Traditional computing models rely on virtual or physical machines, where each instance includes a complete operating system, CPU cycles, and memory. VMware commercialized the idea of virtual machines, and cloud providers embraced the same concept with services like Amazon EC2, Google Compute, and Azure virtual machines.

It was also a virtual machine that lacked low-level hardware profiling capabilities, so I wasn't able to do cycle analysis to confirm that the 10% was entirely frame pointer-based. Google should be no surprise because they pioneered continuous profiling.) The actual overhead depends on your workload. Back-end servers.

Instead, enterprises manage individual containers on virtual machines (VMs). In FaaS environments, providers manage all the hardware. Alternatively, in a CaaS model, businesses can directly access and manage containers on hardware. Instead, CaaS solutions are often divided into different classes: Individual VM containers.

A data pipeline is a software which runs on hardware. The software is error-prone and hardware failures are inevitable. Although based on the load it may be possible to infinitely scale the data pipeline but that will come with a cost which most companies other than Google or Amazon will struggle to justify.

While experienced AI developers are starting to leave powerhouses like Google, OpenAI, Meta, and Microsoft, not enough are leaving to meet demand—and most of them will probably gravitate to startups rather than adding to the AI talent within established companies. Microsoft, Google, IBM, and OpenAI have offered more general indemnification.

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. I think the good news is that over time it will get less complicated.
