I have mixed feelings about this to be honest. On one hand this gives a
really good experience for new users (just pick a profile you want to use)
but on the other hand tools like this discourage users for doing proper
tuning work (why should I read any documentation and do anything if
everything has already been provided by Infinispan authors).
Nevertheless I think it might be worth to do a POC and host profiles in a
separate repository (to avoid user confusion).

Hi all,
tuned is a very nice utility to apply all kind of tuning options to a
machine focusing on performance options.
Of course it doesn't replace the tuning that an expert could provide
for a specific system, but it gives people a quick an easy way to get
to a reasonable starting point, which is much better than the generic
out of the box of a Linux distribution.
In many distributions it runs at boostrap transparently, for example
it will automatically apply a "laptop" profile if it's able to detect
running on a laptop, and might be the little tool which switches your
settings to an higher performance profile when you plug in the laptop.
There's some good reference here:

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/...
It's also easy to find it integrated with other tools, e.g. you can
use Ansible to set a profile.
Distributions like Fedora have out of the box profiles included which
are good tuning base settings to run e.g. an Oracle RDBMS, an HANA
database, or just tune for latency rather than throughput.
Communities like Hadoop also provide suggested tuned settings.
It would be great to distribute an Infinispan optimised profile? We
could ask the Fedora team to include it, I feel it's important to have
a profile there, or at least have one provided by any Infinispan RPMs.
Thanks,
Sanne
