Description: Linux performance tuning involves optimizing system performance through various configurations and adjustments. This process is essential for maximizing the efficiency of system resources such as CPU, memory, and storage. System administrators and advanced users can make adjustments to the Linux kernel, service configurations, and process management to enhance system speed and responsiveness. Monitoring and analysis tools like ‘top’, ‘htop’, and ‘iotop’ help identify bottlenecks and areas that require optimization. Additionally, performance tuning may include configuring system parameters such as cache size, process scheduling, and network management. The importance of this tuning lies in its ability to tailor the system to the specific needs of applications and workloads, resulting in more efficient resource usage and a better user experience. In environments where performance is critical, performance tuning becomes a common practice to ensure that applications run optimally and that the system can handle multiple tasks simultaneously without degrading performance.
