Overview of Azure emissions insights

Microsoft Cloud for Sustainability Tech Summit November 2024.

The Microsoft Azure emissions insights capability empowers your organization to dive deeper into understanding your IT cloud emissions by allowing users to centralize, query, and analyze Azure emissions data. You can track cloud emissions trends over time by subscriptions and resources, and gain insights into the top emissions contributors.

Explore your Azure emissions data with interactive dashboards, where you can compare, slice, and drill down the data by time and resources. You can also run analytical queries and create custom reports on Azure emissions data within the lakehouses. These reports provide actionable insights to help identify opportunities to reduce your Microsoft cloud emissions and optimize your Azure workloads.

The items deployed with this capability include notebooks and lakehouses that ingest, aggregate, and store data. This solution deploys the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) data estate capability alongside the Microsoft Azure emissions insights capability.

The lakehouses in the ESG data estate used by this capability include:

  • ConfigAndDemoData: Stores the demo data.
  • IngestedRawData: Stores raw emissions data and data from external sources.
  • ComputedESGMetrics: Stores aggregated data for emissions analysis.

All resources deployed by this solution are prebuilt and deployed into your Microsoft Fabric workspace. These resources are open, allowing you to customize them to fit your specific needs. The Microsoft Azure emissions insights capability deploys notebooks to ingest and aggregate the data, along with a prebuilt dashboard to view and analyze the emissions data.
