Abstract: Disclosed techniques relate to orchestrating power consumption reductions across a number of hosts. A number of response levels may be utilized, each having an association to a corresponding set of reduction actions. The impact to customers, hosts, and/or workloads can be computed at run time based on current and/or predicted conditions and workloads, and a particular response level can be selected based on the computed impact. These techniques enable a sufficient, but least impactful response to be employed.

Abstract: Disclosed techniques relate to orchestrating power consumption reductions across a number of hosts. A current value for an aggregate power threshold of a plurality of hosts may be identified. During a first time period, an aggregate power consumption of the plurality of hosts may be managed using the current value for the aggregate power threshold. A triggering event indicating a modification to the aggregate power threshold is needed may be detected. A new value for the aggregate power threshold may be determined based on the triggering event. During a second time period, the aggregate power consumption of the plurality of hosts may be managed using the new value for the aggregate power threshold.

Abstract: Disclosed techniques relate to orchestrating power consumption reductions across a number of hosts. Power consumption of power-drawing devices (e.g., hosts, servers, etc.) may be monitored with respect to a power threshold. When the current power consumption corresponding to those devices breaches the power threshold, or at any suitable time, the system may identify a set of reduction actions configured to reduce aggregate power consumption. The power threshold may be updated dynamically based on the operational status of related systems and environmental factors. A number of response levels may be utilized, each having an association to a corresponding set of reduction actions. The impact to customers, hosts, and/or workloads can be computed at run time based on current conditions and workloads, and a particular response level can be selected based on the computed impact. These techniques enable a sufficient, but least impactful response to be employed.
