COURSE OBJECTIVE:
As a result of attending this course, you should be able to obtain, analyze, and interpret system performance metrics, then use these metrics to help increase cost effectiveness, maximize application performance, and make better decisions about investment in hardware or cloud resources.Following completion of this course you will have the knowledge and experience to: • 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
TARGET AUDIENCE:
Senior Linux system administrators responsible for maximizing resource utilization through performance tuning
COURSE PREREQUISITES:
Having a RHCE certification or able to demonstrate equivalent experience
