Introduction
This guide provides a quick-start and guidelines to tuning IBM® Cúram Social Program Management (SPM) in a production or production-like environment in both traditional SPM deployments (VMs or bare-metal) and Kubernetes environments. Learn about the key tuning parameters for a system deployment of SPM, including formulas to use for some parameters and starter values for others.
The configurable parameters and tuning values listed are for guidance purposes only. These configurable parameters and values are a suggested starting point and are not definitive. Clients should perform their own testing to validate and verify their own settings, in order to meet their system needs.
While the starter configurable parameters and values are based on experience and are sensible for production, it is unlikely they are the configuration for your specific system. Therefore, it is strongly recommended these configurations are further tuned during your load testing and production monitoring.
How to use this guide
First, carry out the tasks in Common Tuning Tasks, then depending on your deployment type carry out the tasks in either Tuning On VMs or Tuning on Kubernetes.
What are Common Tuning Tasks?
In the section Common Tuning Tasks, all recommendations are applicable to any SPM deployment irrespective of deployment on traditional infrastructure (VM/bare metal) or Kubernetes.
Scope
The following performance tuning tasks are outside the scope of this guide:
- Operating system tuning
- Network tuning
