Standing up energy and cost observability on Kubernetes
Terraform and Helm modules for the measurement stack.
Ten Terraform modules distributing the GreenOps measurement stack: Prometheus and Grafana, Kepler and Scaphandre for hardware power, CodeCarbon, OpenCost, grid-intensity data, and KEDA and KubeGreen for acting on what you learn. The umbrella module defaults to observability-only, so the first apply cannot disturb production. The problem it solves is assembly: nine upstream projects whose interactions are mostly discovered by failing.
What is in it
- The problem — what goes unanswered without it, and who notices first.
- Why the obvious alternative falls short — stated plainly, including where it is the better choice.
- How it works — the method, not a feature list.
- Concrete use cases — with console output quoted from the repository, never reconstructed.
- The methodology behind any number it emits — every term shown, so the figure survives a question.
- What it deliberately does not do — the section most papers leave out.
