Sustainable Software Architecture for green IT

In this practice-oriented module, participants learn how software architecture and software development can contribute specifically to the sustainability of IT systems. From analyzing regulatory frameworks and assessing carbon footprints to energy-efficient architectures, data processing, and algorithms, the training provides comprehensive knowledge for implementing resource-efficient software solutions, including sustainable cloud strategies and optimized development processes.

What can you expect?

You will gain in-depth knowledge of how software architecture can contribute to reducing energy consumption – from a technical, organizational, and professional perspective. The focus is on the role of IT in the climate context, regulatory requirements, stakeholder perspectives, and specific areas of action within the company. In addition, you will learn how to measure and monitor emissions, apply energy-efficient architecture concepts, and make sustainable decisions in the cloud and development environment.

Participant Requirements

E

Experience in the design and development of small to medium-sized software systems is required.

E

 Practical experience in monitoring software systems is an advantage.

E

Confident handling of quality requirements is essential.

E

Knowledge of the life cycle of software systems is expected.

E
