Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 provides several performance profiles that optimize the system for the following tasks:

  • Systems using the desktop
  • Throughput performance
  • Latency performance
  • Network performance
  • Low power consumption
  • Virtual machines

The TuneD service optimizes system options to match the selected profile.

In the web console, you can set which performance profile your system uses.
