Green Kernel Hosting

Host your Docker containers and get detailed energy stats for your pages with Green Kernel Hosting.

What is Green Kernel Hosting?

Green Kernel Hosting is an offering for running Docker containers while exposing detailed energy stats for the pages and workloads they serve. The goal is to let you host services and still understand the power draw behind each container.

Typical examples include WordPress, Nextcloud, GitLab, MediaWiki, Django, and static sites that can be packaged as standard container images.

What are the advatanges?

Make Energy Visible

Most hosting surfaces CPU, memory, and storage usage, but not the energy cost of the pages and workloads themselves.

Validate the Offering

Green Kernel Hosting exists to test and explain an energy-aware hosting offering before treating it as a finished product.

Reduce your enviromental footprint

By making energy use visible, you can spot inefficient workloads and make hosting decisions that reduce waste over time.

How to run your workloads

01. Submit Your Docker Image

Provide a standard image reference such as docker.io/your-org/your-app:tag for the application you want to host.

02. Deploy the Container

Green Kernel Hosting runs and exposes the containerized service on the platform.

03. Read the Energy Stats

Detailed energy stats for your pages and workloads can then be inspected through APIs and Linux energy files.

Energy Visibility with procpower

Each hosted workload can be analyzed for power draw. Customers and operators could query an API for dashboards, or inspect the values directly from the procfs interface.

cat /proc/energy/cgroup

Applications could also parse these files directly to surface energy usage inside their own product UI.
