Kepler - Powering Up the Efficiency of Your Cluster
Explore a conference talk that delves into the Kubernetes-based Efficient Power Level Exporter (Kepler), a solution for obtaining container-level energy consumption metrics. Learn how Kepler utilizes eBPF programs to probe per container energy consumption related system counters and export them as metrics, enabling end-users to observe container energy consumption and cluster administrators to make informed decisions for energy conservation. Discover Kepler's integration with Prometheus and Grafana for rendering time series metrics, and understand how it facilitates sustainable cluster management by optimizing energy consumption and carbon intensity without compromising workload performance. Gain insights into how Kepler's observability enables energy and carbon intensity-aware scheduling and vertical pod autoscaling, ultimately leading to more efficient energy use in Kubernetes clusters.
