Course Objective
Build practical, real-world fluency in sustainable software engineering by developing strong intuition for how cloud systems, code, and operational practices contribute to environmental impact, and how to design, measure, and optimise them responsibly.

Throughout this module, you will gain hands-on experience applying GreenOps principles, carbon measurement techniques, efficient coding strategies, and DevOps-integrated sustainability workflows.

By progressing from foundational climate awareness to advanced optimisation and governance patterns, you will deepen your instinct for building systems that are not only scalable and cost-effective yet environmentally sustainable.

🧪 Labs & Mini-projects
Prerequisites: Familiarity with software development and basic cloud/DevOps concepts. No sustainability background required.

Format: Weekly instructor-led sessions, guided labs, and independent mini-projects. Structured to mirror the real-world skill progression of an engineer adopting sustainability into modern delivery.
1
Climate & Energy Reality: digital infrastructure footprint, sustainability terminology, and the role software plays in emissions.
2
Measurement: key sustainability metrics, carbon footprint baselining, and tooling across cloud providers.
3
GreenOps Practices: right-sizing, scaling, workload shifting, and sustainable infrastructure decision-making.
4
Green Coding & DevSusOps: efficient software and sustainability guardrails embedded into CI/CD pipelines and engineering culture.
