Query: Boundary of carbon aware SDK

Sealjay commented 2 years ago

(I'll speak with @vaughanknight on Wednesday to get more clarity on point 1, but interested in thoughts on point 2.)

We have some folks interested in 1. Joining the Carbon Aware SDK project, and 2) a separate piece of work we're looking at around measurement of CI/CD pipelines, and app instrumentation.

Because of this, I was interested to know:

Does the SDK include active measurement of the carbon impact of changes in the CI/CD pipeline? (e.g. measuring impact of resource changes in Terraform/ARM/Bicep/Pulumi templates)
Does the SDK include app-level instrumentation, during development, either profiling during debug runs, or on a pre-commit git hook

The term SDK implied this was about control logic for app development, and carbon aware implied scheduling work to run when energy grids were fuelled with clean energy, so just wanted to clarify. FYI @vaughanknight

I don't speak with Vaughan until tomorrow - but in particular, if we don't include pre-deployment CI/CD monitoring, or instrumentation - keen to explore that. We have a prototype project at Avanade we could donate, and I was chatting with @Ferguskidd about whether he could put a proposal in to help with that. FYI @dtoakley and @pierlag

I caught up with @vaughanknight - it looks like #17 is different to the SDK, so will continue with this proposal, and close this ticket.
