8. An apparatus comprising:
communications circuitry configured 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 a distributed system, the sensor data comprising the inferred temperatures, and
collect, via an in-band stream, workload data from the components of the distributed system, the workload data comprising information related to a plurality of actions as performed by the components; and
optimization circuitry configured to:
correlate the workload data with the sensor data, and
determine, based on the correlation of the workload data with the sensor data, power consumption rates of the components of the distributed system for performing respective actions of the plurality of actions.
