PowerShell module for WattTime.org API
This PowerShell module is intended for retrieving emissions data from WattTime for a supplied Azure Region during resource deployments. This is a lightweight solution making use of only the limited functionality available with a free account at WattTime. This means the module is only able to get near-realtime emissions data and no prodictive values. This means this module is not a real solution for reduced carbon deployments and -software. It does however provide some nice realtime values so you can simulate the beheaviour of deployments and software based on emissions data without the cost of a paid account for such data. For example in lab- or proof of concept environments.
The intended use of this module is for setting the Location parameter
on Azure IaC deployments in GitHub workflows using the included GitHub
action.
For a real-world solution with a commercial data provider, check out the carbon-aware-sdk by the Green Software Foundation
