Kubernetes is a popular container orchestration system for deploying containerized applications in the cloud environment due to the popularity of Container-as-a-Service (CaaS). The Kubernetes default scheduler does not consider node’s power consumption for scheduling the jobs that result in cluster power consumption. To minimize the power consumption of a Kubernetes cluster, a real-time Node’s Power-Aware Kubernetes Scheduler (NPAKS) is proposed. Further, NPAKS is implemented using the Kubernetes scheduling framework and deployed on a bare-metal EKS cluster. The experimental results show that NPAKS scheduler minimizes cluster power consumption with respect to the Kubernetes default scheduler. Finally, future research opportunities are discussed.
