About the Hypervisor Tuning Guide
The goal of the Hypervisor Tuning Guide (HTG) is to provide cloud operators with detailed instructions and settings to get the best performance out of their hypervisors.
This guide is broken into four major sections:
Each section has tuning information for the following areas:
- Symptoms of being (CPU, Memory, Network, Disk) bound
- General hardware recommendations
- Operating System configuration
- Hypervisor configuration
- OpenStack configuration
- Instance and Image configuration
- Validation, benchmarking, and reporting
How to Contribute
Simply add your knowledge to this wiki page! The HTG does not yet have a formal documentation repository. It's still very much in initial stages.
