@NAMRATA-WOKE - Questions for review

What were the reasons for your organization to move to the cloud? Which role did sustainability considerations play? Do you believe migrating to the cloud will save carbon emissions? Were you able to quantify the amount of reduced carbon emissions? What are your tips, guidance, and lessons learned for organizations that have not made the move yet?

NAMRATA-WOKE commented 1 year ago

@ursvill good on the questions but lets reach out to members once SOGS has been released.

@NAMRATA-WOKE is going to share this issue on GSF Discussions in the hope to crowd source insights and perspectives.

@jawache - can we send this out, or is it currently too much of a burden for SC members?
