scaphandre VS boaviztapi

Scaphandre!

Hello, Powertop is the bare minimum. I use it many time. But now all my Power consumption rely on Scaphandre. It’s a huge tool! I use it for 2 years now, and double check with a Wattmeter to see any gap (there is no gap). https://github.com/hubblo-org/scaphandre

Perhaps distributed systems traces could be extended to attach energy usage alongside other metadata (like request duration).

See also this HN post[1] re: an environmental impact reporting dashboard built by the BBC's R&D department. In that example, a system-level resource monitoring agent called 'scaphandre'[2] was used -- I think both are valid approaches (a tracing-based approach would allow discovery and optimization of energy-inefficient requests; a system-level approach provides good fleet-wide energy usage visibility).

Check out the boavizta https://github.com/Boavizta/boaviztapi

Have a look at the Boavizta API. It features an automated evaluation of environmental impacts of ICT services and equipments.

That seems to cover on-prem servers and AWS.

Climate change is bad, and is caused by man produced Green House Gas / Carbon / Co2 emissions (OK, you know this).

IT and digital services direct impacts are accounting for a small but growing part of the GHG emissions.

In this fight, every degree counts, so we need to lower those impacts.

To do so, we must assess them first, idealy at the corporation level.

But this is a difficult task, as we do not yet have the right methodologies, data and tools.

Boavizta (www.boavizta.org/) is a non profit work group of 130+ people working exactly on those issues.

Today, we're launching an open source API to assess the environmental impacts of IT infrastructues and cloud services.

The project is still early stage, but we're very enthusiastic about it, and have lot of features on our roadmap

So, if you wanna fight climate change, and have a few hours available to help on methodologies / data / code, check it out!
