AWS Marketplace and Carbon Footprint Tool

0

Does the Carbon Footprint Tool include emissions related to AWS Marketplace purchases? I could not find documentation on this and it's not clear if we need to contact the AWS Marketplace partner directly for emissions reports.

Based on the available information, the AWS Customer Carbon Footprint Tool does not explicitly include emissions related to AWS Marketplace purchases. The tool primarily focuses on tracking, measuring, and forecasting carbon emissions generated from your direct AWS usage.

The Carbon Footprint Tool provides data on emissions associated with AWS products and services, including estimates of carbon emissions by geography and service. It also shows emission savings from AWS cloud infrastructure efficiencies and renewable energy purchases. However, there is no specific mention of including emissions from third-party software or services purchased through AWS Marketplace.

Given that AWS Marketplace offers a wide range of third-party software and services that run on AWS infrastructure, it's possible that the underlying AWS resources used by these products may be reflected in your overall carbon footprint. However, for detailed emissions information specific to individual Marketplace products, you may need to contact the AWS Marketplace partners directly.

If you require precise emissions data for AWS Marketplace purchases, it would be advisable to reach out to the specific Marketplace partners or consult with AWS support for clarification on how these emissions are accounted for in the Carbon Footprint Tool.
