The 4D Approach to Cloud Sustainability with Catharine Strauss

Catharine Strauss joins Corey on Screaming in the Cloud to discuss how doom scrolling lead her to a passionate career in cloud sustainability. Catharine talks about the surprising amount of carbon data creates, and her hopes for the future. She walks through a talk track and action strategy for employees who want to spearhead a sustainability effort in their own companies, as well as her hopes for Amazon’s latest development on their carbon footprint tool. Catharine also explains why it’s necessary to think in terms of the “fourth dimension” like Doc Brown in Back to the Future III when planning for cloud sustainability efforts.
