With GPUs pushing the needs for power and cooling, cost optimization and sustainability must go hand in hand. Small, data-driven efficiency gains can yield significant cost and carbon reductions.

This talk presents the work being done around carbon-aware FinOps in the OpenLab/Oracle collaboration, including an early proof-of-concept deployed across multiple infrastructures, from cloud-native environments to the Next Generation Triggers (NGT) cluster. We'll show how combining hardware telemetry with model-based estimation promises smarter optimization from datacenters down to individual workloads.
