Chapter 2. Performance tuning quick start
You can tune your Satellite Server based on expected host counts and hardware allocation by using built-in tuning profiles included in Satellite that are available by using the installation routine’s tuning flag. For more information, see Tuning Satellite Server with Predefined Profiles in Installing Satellite Server in a connected network environment.
There are four sizes provided based on estimates of the number of hosts your Satellite manages. You can find the specific tuning settings for each profile in the configuration files contained in /usr/share/foreman-installer/config/foreman.hiera/tuning/sizes.

|---|---|---|---|
| default | 0 – 5000 | 20 GiB | 4 |
| medium | 5000 – 10000 | 32 GiB | 8 |
| large | 10000 – 20000 | 64 GiB | 16 |
| extra-large | 20000 – 60000 | 128 GiB | 32 |
| extra-extra-large | 60000+ | 256 GiB+ | 48+ |
