summary
A full‑stack measurement system collects ~100 metrics across security, reliability, operations and greenness, using sensors on racks and cooling plus Prometheus, Grafana, ELK and Kepler for IBM Z to attribute energy down to containers and processes. Real‑time dashboards and ML-driven rules produce automated actions: consolidation, power‑knob changes and job scheduling that match time‑of‑day prices (lowest 11pm–7am), where intelligent scheduling shifts 96→48 jobs and shows measurable drops in energy use, PUE and CO2 emissions in the demo.
