Green hosting
Green hosting means minimising the environmental footprint of the compute, storage, and network resources that power your applications.
Efficient hardware
Section titled “Efficient hardware”We deploy modern servers with high-performance, energy-efficient processors. Hardware refresh cycles ensure that workloads run on the most efficient generation of equipment available.
Virtualization and density
Section titled “Virtualization and density”Kubernetes-based workload scheduling lets us run many applications on shared hardware. Higher utilization means fewer idle resources and better overall efficiency.
Cooling and facilities
Section titled “Cooling and facilities”Where possible, we choose data-centre partners that use:
- Free-air cooling
- Efficient power usage effectiveness (PUE)
- Renewable energy purchasing
Waste reduction
Section titled “Waste reduction”- Automated scaling reduces over-provisioning.
- Build caching and multi-stage container images lower build energy.
- Old hardware is retired through responsible recycling programmes.
Developer choices that help
Section titled “Developer choices that help”You can make your workloads greener by:
- Using smaller container images.
- Running fewer replicas in low-traffic environments.
- Choosing efficient frameworks and runtimes.
- Scheduling batch jobs during off-peak hours.
