KeenTune is a full-stack operating system tuning software powered by a knowledge base that collects knowledge and experience from experts across multiple fields at Alibaba Cloud. KeenTune provides full-stack performance tuning for YiTian instances in terms of CPUs, memory, I/O, and networks based on the instance characteristics and helps tune applications to optimize the runtime for your business.
Full-stack performance tuning for Booster maximizes the performance benefits of YiTian instances and improves performance by about 20% on the average in typical scenarios such as the use of MySQL, NGINX, Redis, and PostgreSQL to help you reduce costs and increase efficiency.
If you do not want to use the feature after you purchase an instance, you can run
/tmp/keentune_remove.shon the instance to uninstall KeenTune and relevant applications. For more information about KeenTune, see KeenTune.

You must adapt applications before you can use the remote attestation feature. For more information about remote attestation, see Strengthen Enclave Trust with Attestation.
Intel SGX depends on host hardware. This instance family does not support hot migration.
Operations such as changing instance types and enabling economical mode may cause the host of an instance to change. Changes to the host of an instance of this instance family may cause failures to decrypt data. Proceed with caution.
By default, auto failover is disabled. You can enable it. For more information, see Modify instance maintenance attributes. Auto failover causes the host of an instance to change. Changes to the host of an instance of this instance family may cause failures to decrypt data. Proceed with caution.
