• obtaining power telemetry from a plurality of nodes of a server rack;
• obtaining power source telemetry from one or more power sources of the server rack, wherein the one or more power sources comprise one or more power shelves, and wherein the one or more power shelves comprise one or more power supplies;
• and
• determining, based at least in part on the power telemetry and the power source telemetry, a placement or configuration for at least some of the nodes or power sources of the server rack.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media that comprise stored program instructions that when executed on or across one or more processors of an Information Handling System (IHS), cause the one or more processors to:

• obtain power telemetry from a plurality of nodes of a server rack;
• obtain power source telemetry from one or more power sources of the server rack, wherein the one or more power sources comprise one or more power shelves, and wherein the one or more power shelves comprise one or more power supplies;
• and
• determine, based at least in part on the power telemetry and the power source telemetry, a placement or configuration for at least some of the nodes or power sources of the server rack.
