Beyond Software Estimates: Measured Per-Pod... - Jedrzej Wasiukiewicz & Markus Lehtonen, Intel

Why watch

This technical deep-dive presents an open-source solution for measuring actual per-pod energy consumption in Kubernetes clusters using Linux 7.0 resctrl filesystem and OpenTelemetry. It demonstrates how to attribute hardware energy counters to individual workloads through NRI container-lifecycle hooks, addressing a critical observability gap for energy-aware scheduling, per-tenant billing, and AI data center efficiency tuning. Target audience includes Kubernetes operators, platform engineers, and SREs working with energy-intensive workloads.
