Powertop is meant only for Laptop? Cant we use it for vms or aws ec2 instances?

[akather]

Hi,
Can we use powertop for cloud instances like ec2?
I installed ubuntu ec2 and run. But the first column which shows Power Est. is coming as blank.
I tried with various options, file format output. But, still nothing.
Any suggestions.

Thanks,
AK

in virtual instances no power information is available. you can see what software is inefficient but actual watts won't be possible
