Scaleway now offering DC sustainability metrics in real time
Via Lauri on the ClimateAction.tech slack: “Huge respect to Scaleway for offering its data centres power, water (yes, even WUE!) and utilisation stats in real-time on its website. Are you listening AWS, Azure and GCP?” Specifically, Scaleway are reporting real-time Power Usage Effectiveness (iPUE), real-time Water Usage Effectiveness (WUE), total IT kW consumed, freechilling net capacity (depending on DC), outdoor humidity and outdoor temperature for each of their datacenters on the https://www.scaleway.com/en/environmental-leadership/ page. They use a slightly confusing circular 24-hour graph format which I’ve never seen before; although I’m coming around to it, I still think I’d prefer a traditional X:Y chart format. Great to see this level of data granularity being exposed. Hopefully there’ll be a public API soon
