Level 1 | Hall Entrance N10 | Room E

We live in a world heavily dependent on technology, and this comes at an environmental cost. For example, data centres consume 2% of global power. As our systems become more complex, that power consumption will only increase. We strive to understand our systems through Observability, and yet the very telemetry that our systems emit and is ingested by our favorite Observability backends contributes to an increasing global tech carbon footprint.

How can we mitigate this? One way is via the Kepler project. The Kepler Exporter exposes statistics, including power consumption metrics, from an application running in a Kubernetes (k8s) cluster.

In this talk, attendees will learn about:
- Kepler - what is is and what it does
- How to deploy Kepler
- Demo showing Kepler tweaking the power consumption of OTel Collectors in k8s

Attendees will walk away with an understanding of how to deploy greener Collectors, thereby reducing power consumption and costs.
