Tuning Linux for Your Database 

Many operations folks know the many Linux file systems like EXT4 or XFS, they know of the schedulers available, they see the OOM killer coming and more. However, appropriate configuration is necessary when you’re running your databases at scale.

Learn best practices for Linux performance tuning for MariaDB/MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Cassandra and HBase. Topics that will be covered include: filesystems, swap and memory management, I/O scheduler settings, using the tools available (like iostat/vmstat/etc), practical kernel configuration, profiling your database, and using RAID and LVM.

There is a focus on bare metal as well as configuring your cloud instances in Amazon EC2.
