Following the success of previous years, CNCF’s Sustainability Month is back — bigger and greener than ever. Organized by the TAG Operational Resilience community, this month-long global initiative brings together practitioners, developers, and advocates to explore sustainable cloud native practices and drive real change.
What is Sustainability Month?
After the big success from the last couple of years, with 20+ meetups around the world in 2024 and a global livestream, we’re back – now as CNCF Cloud Native Sustainability Month, extending beyond a week to allow more time for deeper global conversations on sustainability!
The global event, supported by the CNCF Technical Advisory Group Operational Resilience, aims to bring together local communities to keep the discussion open regarding sustainable technology and a more sustainable cloud native future.

Sustainability Month is your opportunity to:
- Dive into the latest sustainable cloud native technologies
- Connect with like-minded experts and peers who are driving environmental change in tech
- Learn practical and the newest strategies for reducing your cloud infrastructure’s carbon footprint
