Monitoring Energy Consumption and Building Energy Efficient Systems the Cloud Native Way

Explore container-level energy consumption monitoring and building energy-efficient systems using cloud-native approaches in this 20-minute talk by Parul Singh from Red Hat. Learn about the Kubernetes-based Efficient Power Level Exporter (Kepler) and its integration with Kubernetes to provide crucial pod-level metrics for autoscalers and schedulers. Discover how Kepler utilizes eBPF programs to probe and export energy consumption-related system counters as metrics, enabling users to observe container energy usage and empowering cluster administrators to make informed decisions for energy conservation. See a demonstration of Kepler's integration with Prometheus and Grafana for time series metrics visualization. Gain insights into creating energy-efficient systems using cloud-native patterns and observability techniques to enhance cloud efficiency through performance and resource measurement monitoring, ultimately enabling energy-relevant observability and advanced sustainable cluster management.
