This GitHub repository contains energy-related experimental benchmark tests for different GitOps tools and patterns with Kepler.
GitOps has rapidly gained attraction as a promising software delivery approach that can bring numerous benefits, including faster deployment times, increased reliability, and improved scalability. However, there is currently limited research on the energy consumption of GitOps architectures and tools.
This repository aims to fill this gap by collecting energy-related metrics such as energy consumption that can help to evaluate the energy efficiency of GitOps solutions under various experimental conditions and to identify ways to reduce their environmental impact.
The repository includes the following contents:
- docs: This directory contains documentation and instructions on how to run the experiments.
- experiments: This directory contains experimental scripts that can be used to run the benchmark tests.
- images: This directory contains screenshots and other images that are used in this repository.
