Is Serverless Powerfully Powerless? - Measuring Energy Consumption in Serverless Computing

Explore the energy efficiency claims of serverless solutions like Knative in this 31-minute conference talk by Jose Gomez-Selles and Kevin Dubois from Red Hat. Delve into the hypothesis that serverless architectures save CPU cycles, RAM consumption, and ultimately energy. Discover how recent technological advancements enable the measurement of actual energy consumption in nodes and workloads using tools like Kepler. Learn whether serverless approaches truly deliver on their promise of efficiency and environmental benefits, or if these assumptions need to be reevaluated based on real-world data and observations.
