This episode explores how to turn off unnecessary workloads in non-production environments using the CNCF project Kube-green. It builds on our previous discussion about measuring energy usage with Kepler and takes it further by automating the process to make your workloads greener.
In this video, you'll learn:
• Why turning off unuseful workloads is crucial for sustainability.
• How to set up Kubegreen to manage sleep and wake-up times for namespaces.
• Configuring Istio to produce access logs in OpenTelemetry format.
• Deploying the Dynatrace Distro for OpenTelemetry to create a metric pipeline for Envoy logs and Kubegreen metrics.
• Automating the process with Dynatrace workflows to optimize energy usage.
Here's what we'll cover:
1. Setting up Kube-green.
2. Configuring Istio for access logs.
3. Deploying Dynatrace OpenTelemetry and operator.
4. Creating a DQL query to report first and last requests.
5. Building a Dynatrace workflow to automate Kube-green configurations.
