Sustainable DevOps: Minimizing the carbon footprint of banking data centers

Sustainable DevOps methods drive results in banking, given data centers account for most energy usage and environmental damage. Our study demonstrates how sustainability practices join with DevOps techniques to lower the ecological impact of banking data centers while achieving performance and security requirements. The paper illustrates how microservices and containerization technology help banking data centers work better with their resources by automatically scaling and lowering electricity consumption. The evaluation compares Jenkins and Ansible with other automation tools to show how they simplify repetitive work and shut down systems when usage drops to save energy. The study proves why advanced monitoring tools are necessary to track real-time power usage so data center managers can redistribute or stop using servers when needed. The analysis shows how banks can use cloud solutions that depend on green energy and infrastructure architectures to build sustainability practices. Beyond new technology tools, this research pushes for cultural change by supporting business units that add environmental effect measures to their new product development process. This study examines how banking industries can use sustainable DevOps practices to reduce energy use and environmental damage while maintaining regulatory standards and stable operations. The study provides technical and action-based methods that allow DevOps processes to support ecological preservation for finance companies.
