Mr. Girish Kalamati, Observability at Henkel DX – Ex Amazon & Microsoft, Germany. As organizations accelerate digital transformation, the cloud has become both an enabler of innovation and a growing source of carbon emissions. In this keynote, Girish Kalamati — a seasoned technology leader with extensive experience at Microsoft and Amazon — explores how Artificial Intelligence and Observability can together redefine sustainability in the cloud era. Drawing on years of hands-on experience designing and scaling global cloud platforms, Girish demonstrates how AI-driven insights from observability data (logs, metrics, and traces) can optimize resource usage, reduce waste, and align compute workloads with real business and environmental goals. This session reveals practical frameworks and success stories that show how enterprises can: Use predictive AI models to anticipate demand and dynamically scale resources. Apply observability analytics to identify inefficiencies and carbon hotspots. Integrate sustainability KPIs directly into cloud operations and FinOps strategies. Girish advocates that sustainability is not a trade-off but an innovation driver — where intelligent automation and responsible cloud architecture lead to both economic and ecological benefits. His talk empowers leaders, engineers, and policymakers to rethink cloud efficiency as a pathway to a smarter, greener digital future.
