Sustainable Computing Sandbox

🌱 Experimental environment to develop on energy- and carbon-aware cloud-native software.

📦 Components

• Local cloud infrastructure
• Energy consumption monitoring stack
• Carbon emission monitoring stack
• Machine learning infrastructure and workloads
• Visualization stack
• Execution management tool

📋 Requirements

This project uses the just command runner for ergonomic development. To install with cargo:

cargo install just

🛠️ Installation

Download and install all necessary requirements:

just install requirements

⚡ Usage

To start the cluster and deploy all components:

Note: Deployment might fail if a VPN is active.

just init

To deploy specific components:

just deploy infra  # spin up a local cluster, without deploying other components
just deploy [energy-monitoring|carbon-monitoring|machine-learning|visualization]

To run a workload, for example to test energy consumption or carbon emission monitoring:

just run [machine-learning]  # run all workloads defined in machine-learning

🖥️ Dashboards

If deployed, visualizations can be accessed with:

just view  # opens all dashboards
just view [kepler|flyte]

🧹 Teardown

To remove everything:

just teardown  # remove the entire cluster, including all components 

To remove specific components:

just teardown [energy-monitoring|carbon-monitoring|machine-learning|visualization]
