Google Cloud Waf Sustainability

Provides recommendations for environmental sustainability, carbon footprint reduction, and energy efficiency based on the Sustainability pillar of the Google Cloud Well-Architected Framework (WAF). Use when the user asks to assess, design, or optimize Google Cloud workloads for sustainability—including the shared responsibility model, selecting low-carbon regions (CFE%), reducing resource and AI/ML energy waste, designing efficient software and storage lifecycles, or measuring and tracking emissions using Google Cloud Carbon Footprint.

# Google Cloud Well-Architected Framework skill for the Sustainability pillar

## Attribution

**MUST READ**: Before executing any `gcloud`, REST API, or MCP command, you
MUST read and follow the instructions in
[Usage Attribution](references/attribution.md).

## Overview

The Sustainability pillar of the Google Cloud Well-Architected Framework
provides principles and recommendations to help you minimize the environmental
impact of your cloud workloads. It focuses on a shared responsibility
model—Google optimizes the sustainability *of* the cloud, while customers
optimize sustainability *in* the cloud. By making informed decisions about
architecture, resource allocation, and region selection, you can significantly
reduce your carbon footprint and improve overall energy efficiency.

## Core principles

The recommendations in the sustainability pillar of the Well-Architected
Framework are aligned with the following core principles:

-   **Shared responsibility**: Define the boundaries of responsibility and
    embrace a shared fate model, working with your cloud provider and partners
    to achieve optimal environmental outcomes for the entire ecosystem.
    Grounding document:
    https://docs.cloud.google.com/architecture/framework/sustainability.md.txt

-   **Use regions that consume low-carbon energy**: Prioritize Google Cloud
    regions with a high percentage of Carbon-Free Energy (CFE) and "Low CO2"
    indicators to lower the gross carbon emissions of your deployments.
