Oracles Releases Updated "bpftune" For BPF-Based Auto-Tuning Of Linux Systems

([Oracle] 6 Hours Ago bpftune)


The past few years Oracle has been working on [1]bpftune as a solution for BPF-based, automatic tuning of Linux systems. Bpftune has been available via Oracle Linux and GitHub while finally their open-source GitHub code has seen the first new tagged release in a while.

The bpftune daemon supports auto-tuning of Linux via BPF observability. With bpftune there is continuous monitoring of the Linux system and adjusting of system behavior at a fine-grain level. A big emphasis on bpftune is making it easier to manage the large range of sysctl tunables with the modern versions of the Linux kernel.

Bpftune 0.4-1 was released on Friday with better reliability of tuners, net buffer and UDP tuners, and improved cleanup handling around process start/stop.

With bpftune 0.4-1 is also basic Debian packaging support, fixing i386 builds, other new tunables identified, documentation updates, and other enhancements.

Downloads and more details on the bpftune 0.4-1 release via [2]GitHub .

The Tao of heaven is like the bending of a bow.
The high is lowered, and the low is raised.
If the string is too long, it is shortened;
If there is not enough, it is made longer.

The Tao of heaven is to take from those who have too much and give to those who do not have enough.
Man's way is different.
He takes from those who do not have enough and give to those who already have too much.
What man has more than enough and gives it to the world?
Only the man of Tao.

Therefore the sage works without recognition.
He achieves what has to be done without dwelling on it.
He does not try to show his knowledge.
