AWS Sustainability

Section titled “Concept”AWS has some tools for sustainability, or environmental accounting, and the main one is the Customer Carbon Footprint Tool. It shows roughly how much carbon emission your AWS usage is causing. The numbers can be broken down by service and Region, and you can also see how they change over time. This tool is available as part of the Billing console. In addition, the Well-Architected Framework has a separate pillar called sustainability, which covers designs that reduce the impact on the environment.
