kube-green

Overview

kube-green is a Kubernetes operator that presents itself as a way to reduce the CO2 footprint of clusters. It suspends pods when no one is using them, scales the cluster down and saves energy, and the project site describes a Green Dashboard feature for seeing how much is saved as coming soon. The operator is distributed as an open-source project with its source code on GitHub.

Use cases

• Suspend pods when clusters are not in use
• Scale Kubernetes clusters down to save energy
• Reduce the CO2 footprint of a cluster
• Track estimated savings in the Green Dashboard
