用联邦学习预测容器负载能耗,保护隐私还能更准。

Towards Carbon-Aware Container Orchestration: Predicting Workload Energy Consumption with Federated Learning

  • 跨企业协作训练模型,数据不出本地
  • 比中心化方法误差低11.7%
  • 适合关注碳足迹与数据隐私的云服务商

大规模数据中心运行资源密集型工作负载,显著增加全球碳排放,亟需可持续计算方案。尽管Kubernetes等容器编排平台可通过优化调度降低碳排放,但现有方法依赖集中式机器学习模型,存在隐私风险且难以跨环境泛化。本文提出一种基于联邦学习的能耗预测框架,通过扩展Kepler,利用Flower的FedXgbBagging聚合策略,在分布式客户端间协同训练XGBoost模型,无需共享原始数据。在SPECPower基准数据集上的实验表明,该方法相比集中式基线平均绝对误差降低11.7%。本工作解决了以往系统如Kepler和CASPER在数据隐私与能耗预测效率间的权衡问题,为不牺牲运营隐私的企业提供了可持续云计算可行路径。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

The growing reliance on large-scale data centers to run resource-intensive workloads has significantly increased the global carbon footprint, underscoring the need for sustainable computing solutions. While container orchestration platforms like Kubernetes help optimize workload scheduling to reduce carbon emissions, existing methods often depend on centralized machine learning models that raise privacy concerns and struggle to generalize across diverse environments. In this paper, we propose a federated learning approach for energy consumption prediction that preserves data privacy by keeping sensitive operational data within individual enterprises. By extending the Kubernetes Efficient Power Level Exporter (Kepler), our framework trains XGBoost models collaboratively across distributed clients using Flower's FedXgbBagging aggregation using a bagging strategy, eliminating the need for centralized data sharing. Experimental results on the SPECPower benchmark dataset show that our FL-based approach achieves 11.7 percent lower Mean Absolute Error compared to a centralized baseline. This work addresses the unresolved trade-off between data privacy and energy prediction efficiency in prior systems such as Kepler and CASPER and offers enterprises a viable pathway toward sustainable cloud computing without compromising operational privacy.
