Operator designed to expose and utilize Intel specific power management technologies in Kubernetes

In a container orchestration engine such as Kubernetes, the allocation of CPU resources from a pool of platforms is based solely on availability with no consideration of individual capabilities such as Intel Speed Select Technology (SST).
The Kubernetes Power Manager is a Kubernetes Operator designed to expose and utilize Intel specific power management technologies in a Kubernetes Environment.
The SST is a powerful collection of features that offers more granular control over CPU performance and power consumption on a per-core basis. However, as a workload orchestrator, Kubernetes is intentionally designed to provide a layer of abstraction between the workload and such hardware capabilities. This presents a challenge to Kubernetes users running performance critical workloads with specific requirements dependent on hardware capabilities.
The Kubernetes Power Manager bridges the gap between the container orchestration layer and hardware features enablement, specifically Intel SST.
