[Co2-bof] BoF at OGF26

[Sven van den Berghe]

Hi,

We have a 90 minute session at OGF 26 with the following description:

"Metrics and an API for Green Computing on the Cloud"

Growing concerns for the environment mean that users of compute  
services will soon need to account for CO2 produced by their use these  
resources. This means that the energy or CO2 used by services must be  
visible to workload management systems and also reported to users and  
others. In cloud computing this requires commonly agreed and  
understood metrics to relate the execution of a service to the CO2  
produced by the underlying resources and also an API that allows the  
reporting of CO2 and SLA negotiation using CO2 as a constraint.  
Following on from a session during OGF25 we will explore the basis for  
CO2 metrics from experiences and the requirements for CO2 reporting  
APIs.

Does anyone have a contribution that they want to make to this?  
Requirements or use cases that would drive this work ... Any similar  
work that helps with the data sources - types, formats ... Thoughts on  
links with other OGF WGs ... experiences from supplying or using such  
information ... straw men?
