From: MacRimi This optimization installs Open vSwitch (OVS), a multilayer virtual switch designed for modern virtualized environments.
- Why it's beneficial:
- Provides advanced networking capabilities, including VLAN tagging, trunking,
- traffic shaping, and Quality of Service (QoS). OVS enables more flexible and scalable network configurations,
- making it ideal for complex virtualization setups requiring fine-grained traffic control.
+ This optimization installs Open vSwitch (OVS), a multilayer virtual switch

+ advanced features for virtualized infrastructures.
+ Why it's beneficial:
+ Open vSwitch provides powerful networking capabilities, including:
+ This adjustment automates the following commands:
+ Once installed, Open vSwitch can be used to create virtual network bridges. Below is an example of how to create a virtual switch named
+ Open vSwitch allows VLAN tagging to segment network traffic. Below is an example of how to add an interface to a specific VLAN.
+
+ If an interface needs to carry multiple VLANs (trunk mode), use the following command:
+
+ If you need to remove a bridge or a port from Open vSwitch, use these commands:
+
+ Open vSwitch enables advanced networking capabilities for virtual environments, allowing greater
+ control over network traffic, security, and performance optimizations.

- This optimization configures pigz as a faster replacement for gzip compression. pigz is a parallel - implementation of gzip for modern multi-processor, multi-core machines. -
-The following steps are performed:
-- Note: This optimization can significantly speed up compression tasks, especially on systems - with multiple CPU cores. -
-This adjustment automates the following commands:
