Executive Summary

At Observability Summit Europe 2026 in Prague, I presented a keynote titled Carbon as a First-Class Signal: Designing a Standard for OpenTelemetry . The talk explored how Software Carbon Intensity (SCI) could become part of cloud-native observability through OpenTelemetry semantic conventions, and how the Green Software Foundation ‘s ongoing work aims to establish a common language for carbon-related telemetry.

Hyperscale Open Source & Cloud Infrastructure Review

From an infrastructure engineering, cloud-native scale, and hyperscale governance standpoint: - **Hyperscale Provenance:** Open-sourcing internal frameworks subjects proprietary systems to rigorous public analysis. - **De-facto Standard Cohesion:** Publishing enterprise tooling establishes interoperable specifications across distributed execution. - **Vendor Decoupling:** Platform engineers can inspect underlying telemetry and memory layouts without black-box vendor lock-in.

Impact on the Open Ecosystem

Bridges enterprise engineering scale with independent, reproducible open-source software stacks.
