  Control carbon emission of your cloud infrastructure - Carbon-aware cloud infra

  

I've started to work on Carbonifer, a tool that can estimate carbon emissions before deploying an infrastructure. A bit appreciate infracost, this reads Terraform files and estimates carbon emissions if this plan is applied. Currently targeting GCP computes, I plan to expand it to other providers and resources and of course target other IaC (pulumi? Chef?...). This is currently using average carbon intensity data (gCO2eq/kWh) but this will also read real-time data (example of real-time‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎­data source: electricitymaps). Carbonifer can help to pick the best machine type/region/provider but I also can imagine it coupled with a scheduler to deploy where/when it's less carbonated or even resize/move an existing infra. Have a look at https://github.com/carboniferio/carbonifer I would appreciate any feedback or thoughts about it. Do you have this kind of need?
