#RedHat @holly_cummins the JVM tunes itself differently on servers

Slide 41

Slide 41 text

#RedHat @holly_cummins the JVM tunes itself differently on servers … but what’s a server?

Slide 42

Slide 42 text

#RedHat @holly_cummins answer(ish):

Slide 43

Slide 43 text

#RedHat @holly_cummins // This is the working definition of a server class machine: // >= 2 physical CPU's and >=2GB of memory answer(ish): actual hotspot source code

Slide 44

#RedHat @holly_cummins

Slide 45

Slide 45 text

#RedHat @holly_cummins takeaway: don’t shrink your containers too much or your JVM will make bad decisions advice accurate as of June 2022. all performance advice should be independently verified. do not try this at home without testing first. your mileage may vary.
