Introduction of Cloud Carbon Footprint Tool
The Cloud Carbon Footprint tool is an open source project launched in March 2021, designed to measure and monitor carbon emissions and energy usage from cloud services. It supports major cloud providers like Google Cloud, AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Alibaba Cloud. The tool offers a customizable dashboard for visualizing estimations and provides API and command line interface options for users. Its origin lies in the need for a transparent methodology to calculate emissions due to the lack of detailed data provided by cloud providers.
