-**Microsoft Azure** had ambitious goals for 2025, aiming to power all its data centres with renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, hydroelectric, or geothermal. They continue to work towards being carbon negative by 2030. "We are also on track to replenish more water than we consume across global operations and improve datacenter water use efficiency, including through a new innovative datacenter design that optimizes AI workloads and consumes zero water for cooling to avoid the use of an estimated 125,000 cubic meters annually per facility," said Melanie Nakagawa, Chief Sustainability Officer.

Kubernetes is also evolving in response to AI demands. Inference workloads, powered by LLMs and GPUs, now require low-latency execution closer to the user. This shift is pushing organizations to build intelligent orchestration layers that schedule AI pipelines across edge and core clusters—often leveraging Kubernetes as the common control plane.

Additionally, FinOps and security are becoming deeply integrated into Kubernetes workflows. Policy-as-code extensions are gaining traction to ensure cost transparency, policy enforcement, and secure defaults.
