O’Reilly – Using Linux Performance Tools
English | Size: 571.51 MB Category: Tutorial
Move from basic Linux administration to advanced in this course that details how to monitor, profile, and trace Linux systems and applications.

Linux expert Sasha Goldshtein shows you how to run basic performance checklists to get a reading of high-level system performance.

You’ll discover ways to diagnose specific issues such as high CPU load, excessive I/O, and

slow network requests; as well as gain a solid understanding of the Linux system infrastructure that makes tracing and profiling possible.

How this course will help you

The course is designed for application developers, system administrators, and SREs with some Linux system administration experience and a basic understanding of OS concepts like threads, I/O operations, and memory.

How this course will help you

Moving beyond the basics of administering Linux systems, this course covers advanced topics including how to monitor,

profile and trace Linux systems as well as how to diagnose specific issues such as high CPU load, excessive I/O and slow network requests.

Linux is a general-purpose operating system that supports a wide variety of application workloads.

Moving from basic administration to advanced performance investigation, this course explores how to probe and analyze Linux systems for better understanding and diagnostics.

Throughout the course, author Sasha Goldshtein shares his expertise in tracing and profiling

techniques, as well as in advanced Linux features like containerization and cgroups.

Sasha Goldshtein, author of Linux Performance Analysis from O’Reilly Media,

explains how to use common Linux performance tools to diagnose bottlenecks and improve system performance.

This course is designed for application developers and system administrators who want to improve their Linux systems’ performance and understand how they work.

With this course, you’ll learn how to use several of the most powerful performance tools for monitoring Linux performance.

Linux is an immensely complex OS, and there are plenty of ways to trip over things when you’re trying to improve it.

But with this course, you’ll learn how to avoid those pitfalls and focus on only the relevant areas that affect performance.
