Red Hat Performance Tuning: Linux in Physical, Virtual, and Cloud

Red Hat Performance Tuning: Linux in Physical, Virtual, and Cloud (RH422) teaches senior Linux® system administrators the methodology of performance tuning. This course discusses system architecture with an emphasis on understanding its implications on system performance, performance adjustments, open source benchmarking utilities, networking performance, and tuning configurations for specific server use cases and workloads.

This course is based on Red Hat® Enterprise Linux 8.

Overview

This course is intended to develop the skills needed to improve infrastructure performance, increase system utilization, reduce downtime, and improve responsiveness to system failures.

Outcomes

As a result of attending this course, students should be able to obtain, analyze, and interpret system performance metrics, which the business can use to increase cost effectiveness, maximize application performance, and make better decisions about investment in hardware or cloud resources.

• Analyze and tune for resource-specific scenarios
• Applying tuning profiles with the tuned tool
• Tune in virtual environments (hosts and guests)
• Trace and profile system events and activities
• Tune resource limits and utilization using systemd-integrated cgroups
• Gather performance metrics and benchmarking data
