**Daniel Finneran**, Principal Community Advocate at Isovalent, highlighted how [eBPF](https://ebpf.io/) (Extended Berkeley Packet Filter) is transforming data center efficiency. Over the past decade, data centers have improved energy efficiency through virtualization, containerization, and Kubernetes. Now, eBPF is taking this evolution further by reducing reliance on additional hardware devices.

Finneran explained how eBPF can replace traditional hardware components like load balancers, firewalls, TAP devices, and IDS (Intrusion Detection Systems). As an open-source technology, eBPF empowers developers to create customized solutions rather than waiting for vendor implementations. He highlighted [KEPLER](https://github.com/sustainable-computing-io/kepler), a cloud-native project that demonstrates eBPF's potential in energy monitoring within Kubernetes clusters.

**Dr. Swati Murthy**, Practice Director of Sustainability at Tata Consultancy Services, addressed the crucial role of supply chain decarbonization in achieving net-zero targets. She highlighted current limitations in sustainability measurement frameworks, which often focus on enterprise-level ESG goals without considering industry-wide standards for cross-ecosystem sustainability outcomes.

Dr. Murthy proposed a comprehensive approach to embed sustainability throughout the design process, emphasizing the need to integrate environmental considerations from the ground up in supply chain management to drive meaningful impact across industries.
