Claim 8:
9. An apparatus for managing operation of a distributed system that provides computer-implemented services, the apparatus comprising:
a processor, and
communications circuitry configured, with the processor, to:
collect sensor data from a plurality of temperature sensors via an out-of-band stream, the plurality of temperature sensors being positioned to infer temperatures of components of the distributed system, the sensor data comprising the inferred temperatures;

optimization circuitry configured, with the processor, to:
determine, using the inferred temperatures, power consumption rates of the components of the distributed system for performing respective actions of a plurality of actions with each of the components, and
select, based on the determined power consumption rates, a particular component of the components to perform an action of the plurality of actions, and the selection being made with a preference to reduce power consumption for performance of the action,

wherein the communications circuitry is further configured with the processor to, with the particular component, perform the action, the action resulting in updated computer-implemented services being provided by the distributed system.
