Anne Currie is joined by Sara Bergman to explore what the shift to greener computing really looks like in practice, using .NET and modern CPU architectures as a concrete example. They unpack why moving from traditional x64 systems to more efficient ARM-based platforms can cut costs and carbon, how runtime environments like .NET make architectural transitions easier, and why staying up to date with platforms is essential for performance, security, and sustainability. Along the way, the conversation connects DevOps, modernization, and energy efficiency into a clear message: the green shift starts with building systems that are designed to change.
