The tuned application is the best tool for dynamic tuning of kernel parameters, as it monitors the system and optimizes the performance under different workloads. It provides a number of predefined profiles for typical use cases, such as power saving, low latency, high throughput, virtual machine performance, and so on. It also allows users to create, modify, and delete profiles, and to switch between them on the fly. The tuned application uses the sysctl command and the configuration files in the /etc/sysctl.d/ directory to adjust the kernel parameters at runtime.
