• TAG ENV Lead: TBD

Abstract

This blog post provides a detailed introduction to what cloud native sustainability is, why it's important and what the current cloud native sustainability landscape (tools, initiatives, research) looks like. It should also provide suggestions on how one can contribute to the cloud native sustainability space (f.ex. through TAG ENV contributions). The blog post should also be clear on what cloud native sustainability is and isn't. The goal of the blog post is to be an introduction for beginners so that it's easier to learn about and navigate the cloud native sustainability space for those who have none or little knowledge about it.

Scope

Beginner-friendly introduction to what cloud native sustainability is and isn't, what value it brings to cloud native and open source ecosystem and how the current landscape looks like.

Expected audience

• Beginners who have none or little knowledge about cloud native sustainability, or may have misconceptions about what it is

Goals and Non Goals

Goals:

• Provide introduction to what cloud native sustainability is and isn't, and what value it has in the cloud native and open source space
• Provide overview of its landscape to make it easier to navigate for beginners
• Highlight how one can dive deeper and potentially contribute to the cloud native sustainability space

Non-Goals:

• Get too technical or deep dive into the topic since this should be a beginner-friendly introduction, that should also be understandable for less technical folks
• Go into details of TAG ENV projects, working groups, etc. since there are other dedicated resources for that

@by-d-sign were you interested in contributing to this blog post? Would you be interested in taking the lead on outlining it?😊

[sergioarmgpl]

It would love to participate on this :) @guidemetothemoon

[guidemetothemoon]

Great that you're interested in contributing to this @sergioarmgpl ! I haven't heard anything from @by-d-sign regarding this yet so I'm not sure if he has capacity to take a lead on this.

In the meantime I'll see if I can improve the suggested outline a bit and add some more details on the topics and scope that we want to cover with the blog post so that we can start adding content to it. You're also welcome to add any suggestions, thoughts or draft content to the Google Doc linked in the issue description☺️

Follow up: @by-d-sign, are you still interested in contributing to this blog post?

[ATREAY]

Hey @guidemetothemoon, can I also work on this blog?

[guidemetothemoon]

@ATREAY thanks for your interest, added you to the assignees! I will be on the reviewer and guidance side together with the blog lead @savitharaghunathan who's in the shadow role for this blog post.

I suggest that we adjust the timeline for this blog post to be published after we've published version 2 of the landscape document that @by-d-sign is working on together with others as part of #302

Some text was already added to the draft doc by @mkorbi and I added some points that the blog post can be structured into. @sergioarmgpl @ATREAY can you please take a look and see if it's understandable?

@mkorbi @sergioarmgpl @ATREAY can one of you take the coordination lead on this blog post, i.e. distribute and assign sections, follow up on progress, etc.?

If you have any questions, please let me know. Thanks again for your time and effort on this☺️🙌

[sergioarmgpl]

I will take a look today, just back from some vacations :) @guidemetothemoon
