Performance tuning and capacity planning for Red Hat Enterprise Linux
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.
Senior Linux system administrators responsible for maximizing resource utilization through performance tuning
Become a Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE®), or demonstrate equivalent experience.
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.
This course is intended to develop the skills needed to improve infrastructure performance, increase system utilization, reduce downtime, and improve responsiveness to system failures.
