kube-green VS goldilocks

kube-green, a tool that helps you reduce the carbon footprint of your Kubernetes clusters

If you're using kubernetes, look up [kube-green](https://github.com/kube-green/kube-green); I use it with great success (CPU goes down noticeably, and thus power consumption)

There's also tools like Goldilocks that can help with resource request planning.

I recently installed this into our cluster and it provides you a recommendation of what your resources should be set to based on VPA in monitor mode. https://github.com/FairwindsOps/goldilocks

While not directly what you're asking, a tool like Goldilocks combined with Kubernetes' Vertical Pod Autoscaler can give you an idea of the real CPU and memory consumption of your applications over a period of time. It's mainly used for cloud cost control, but could be useful.

We use it in a limited fashion as part of Goldilocks. Not all namespaces have it enabled, but any team that wants to use it can request their namespace be enabled.

We use https://github.com/FairwindsOps/goldilocks (zero affiliation) in our load testing environment and work from the recommendations there.
