[ale] Red Hat User Group Atlanta meeup: Tomorrow

[Scott McBrien]

I thought this was in the overview, but maybe I'm wrong, I wrote it a long time ago.

Start with a talk about /proc and /proc/sys and sysctl, then /sys, finishing with tuned.

Not a ton of use case baked into the preso, but tunables like swappiness or huge pages gear themselves to the obligatory database and JVM mention, respectively.

And I'm only just now moving up to 6 one the systems I don't (haven't had time to setup a test 7 environment). So I'm just trying to gauge if the drive up there is going to benefit me much.

I wrote the preso for 7, and tuned for 7 has a bunch of systemd things now, but the basic mechanics of switching profiles is largely unchanged from earlier versions.  The big difference with 7 is what happens when the profile is activated.
