Kepler in Action - Discovering the Power Draw of Your Kubernetes Workloads

Explore how to monitor and optimize energy consumption in Kubernetes environments using Kepler, an open-source project from the CNCF Sandbox. Learn to leverage eBPF and power monitoring technologies to gain real-time visibility into energy usage at both node and Pod levels, enabling platform engineers and SRE teams to understand cluster energy profiles and optimize resource allocation for sustainability strategies. Discover how energy efficiency has evolved beyond cloud cost considerations to become a critical component of DevOps practices and enterprise sustainability transformation as cloud-native applications continue to scale. Examine actual Kepler metrics collected from Kubernetes clusters to understand power consumption patterns and explore practical approaches to make clusters more energy-efficient while maintaining high performance.
