I am an AWS Community Hero and AWS Ambassador representing Nordics and Finland. I am an organizer in multiple Nordic user groups and an establishing member of AWS Community Day Nordics. I work as VP of Technology at AWS Partner Knowit and am responsible for our cloud offerings portfolio, including sustainability-focused offerings.
Today, sustainability is a more important topic than ever and it continually impacts us—and will continue to do so for decades to come. Changes in regulation and compliance are enforcing this evolution for every organization eventually. And sustainability is not only about environment, but also about social aspects and good governance.
My intention is to offer you different aspects and perspectives on how to increase your knowledge in the ESG domain and how to utilize AWS services to optimize and transform your business to reach the ESG targets.
As much it is about doing things right, in this context, it is also about doing the right thing.
Compute innovation to enable any application in the cloud
Cloud computing allows economies-of-scale benefits and through that, measurable sustainability benefits compared to running small-scale workloads on your own premises. If you seek for information to understand how to take any application to the cloud, this session is for you.
Dive deeper into best practices and the AWS Well-Architected Tool
As Dr. Vogels asks: “Are you Well-Architected?” At re:Invent 2021, a new Sustainability pillar was added to the AWS Well-Architected practice. This session gives you insights on how to execute a balanced Well-Architected review by using the tooling on the AWS dashboard.
AWS GameDay: The New Frontier
The Unicorn.Rentals saga continues! If you have attended an AWS GameDay, you know the drill. If not, highly recommended. Interaction, collaboration, and friendly competition—now also including sustainability goals to go after.
Lower your IT carbon footprint with AWS compute services
AWS has the capability to innovate and invest in sustainable development, which spans from how energy is produced to how efficient compute resources are. This session covers a vision of how to innovate in this space.
Build a cost-, energy-, and resource-efficient compute environment
One of the key aspects of using infrastructure in sustainable way is to control consumption. When you consume only what you need, you also have minimal environmental impact in emissions and energy consumption.
Sustainability in the cloud with Rust and AWS Graviton
Sometimes simple tooling selection and proper infrastructure can have direct environmental impact. Arm-based instances benefit from the advancements in mobile technologies, as they’re highly energy efficient. Using a modern, performance-efficient language like Rust can amplify the efficiency.
How Moody’s uses serverless and microservices for ESG scores
Some people argue that sustainability has no implications for their business. That is not necessarily so, as sustainability scoring has impact on, for example, the price of equity. Moody’s creates ESG scoring to be used as data in these decisions.
How Amazon uses AWS IoT to improve sustainability across its buildings
Even if your business is in the cloud, you might still have office space or some physical property where sustainability needs to be measured, assessed, and optimized. In this session, you can learn how Amazon manages the sustainability of their physical space.
Building a sustainable practice for tomorrow
If you are an AWS Partner and figuring out how to build your offering and delivery practice to support your customers' sustainability journeys, this session is for you.
Optimizing architectures for sustainability
Gain insights from real world cases with AWS ProServe for how to use AWS IoT and machine learning services to gather and analyze data, forecast, and then create a plan for how to reduce emissions.
Delivering sustainable, high-performing architectures
If you are a builder looking for deep and specific concrete advice on how to architect and develop your application according to sustainability metrics, you can find it in this session.
Sustainability in AWS global infrastructure
This session focuses on the sustainability aspects and details at the AWS global infrastructure level. How energy is produced, how premises are cooled, and what initiatives AWS is taking on to ensure minimum negative environmental impact.
Sustainability and AWS silicon
This session focuses on aspects and details of sustainability at the silicon level. How AWS Graviton and other purpose-built, efficient processors are able to impact sustainability outcomes.
Continuous cost and sustainability optimization
Sustainability is not something that happens at a single point in time. As with cost, you need to continuously evaluate the direction of your sustainability impact. In this workshop you get to simulate that in real time.
Lead with data
In these sustainability focused workshops, you will use data from different sources to ingest, analyze, predict, and derive conclusions by using tooling and ML models. Be sure to bring your own laptop!
Detecting deforestation with geospatial images and Amazon SageMaker
Using Amazon SageMaker, AutoGluon, and ASDI to predict air quality
