SPRUCE 0.9 is out
Here's what's new:
💧 Water is now a first-class metric. SPRUCE can now estimate water consumption — factoring in regional hydric stress.
⚡ Operational emissions got more accurate, with power supply and transmission overheads now included.
📊 A Python-based report generator makes it easier to surface insights from your data.
🚀 and many more improvements under the hood
And a green software and Sustainability one!
We are pleased to announce the very first release of Spruce
https://github.com/DigitalPebble/spruce
Spruce is an #opensource project which helps estimate the environmental impact of your cloud usage. By leveraging open source models and data, it enriches usage reports generated by AWS and allows you to build reports and visualisations. Having the #greenops and #finops data in the same place makes it easier to expose your costs and impacts side by side.
Contributions, feedback, and questions are welcome!
SPRUCE 0.4 is out!
SPRUCE is an open-source tool developed to help organisations measure their cloud-related carbon footprint. It is an enrichment pipeline that processes usage reports generated by Amazon Web Services and adds environmental impact data.
This new version improves the energy estimates provided by the BoaviztAPI and includes embodied emissions for computing resources. It also makes it easier to read from / write to S3.
#GreenOps isn't just about carbon — water matters too. 💧
Data centers consume enormous amounts of water, and AI is intensifying that demand. Yet most cloud dashboards (and even some commercial #greenops tools) don't measure it at all.
We just merged a PR in #SPRUCE to add water consumption estimates — including regional water stress data from WRI Aqueduct. A litre used in Canada ≠ a litre used in South Africa.
As far as we know, no other #greenops solution does this. We think it should.
Missing coding during the end of year break? Want to start the new year with something meaningful?
Why don't you have a go at a this nice #goodfirstissue for SPRUCE :
https://github.com/DigitalPebble/spruce/issues/109
SPRUCE is an #opensource platform for #GreenOps which helps measure and reduce the environmental impact of CloudComputing.
New version of SPRUCE available and it's a beauty!
+ Support for split cost allocation data
+ New module for CCF implementation of GPUs
+ Added new generation of GPUs not supported by CCF
+ Bugfix for Boavizta module

Get it while it's hot!
AWS add scope 3 to the cloud carbon footprint tool
What does it change? Is it good enough?
SPRUCE 0.5 is out!
SPRUCE is an open-source tool developed to help organisations measure their cloud-related carbon footprint. It is an enrichment pipeline that processes usage reports generated by AWS and adds environmental impact data, such as the energy used and co2 emissions.

Still early days but making good progress on a brand new #opensource project - Carbonara (might change the name as there already is a project with it).
It does partly what CloudCarbonFootprint used to do i.e. help you measure and reduce the environmental impact from your cloud usage.
What truly matters—at work and in life—is getting recognition from those we respect and admire.
We’ve been fortunate to receive several such affirmations recently, and this one from Sopht means a great deal to us.

PS: there will be a few announcements in the next week or so. Watch this space!
Wouldn't it be be great if we could get a #carbon intensity forecast from #AWS?
Instead of guessing the location of their data centres and gathering data about carbon intensity from various sources, they could give us an API and tell us for a given location what the carbon intensity currently is and a 24 hour forecast.
This would facilitate carbon aware applications.
