<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>Hello Pulp Community!<br><br></div>I'm working on a 
feature to allow the foreman-installer to set the number of Pulpcore 
workers deployed on Katello or Content Proxy, and I require some 
assistance from the Pulp community in setting sane defaults and limits.<br><br></div>With
 Pulp 2 in Katello, the default behavior was that the worker count would
 match the number of logical CPUs up to a soft limit of 8. We advised 
that users could tune the worker count higher but it was expected to 
cause performance degradation in most cases due to I/O blocking. The 
largest scale installation to my knowledge uses a Pulp 2 worker count of
 16.<br><br></div>With Pulp 2 being replaced and rebuilt with Pulpcore, 
I'm looking to understand what are the tuning best practices for the new
 technology, so that we could apply them to Katello.<br><br></div>I am looking forward to hearing from you,<br clear="all"><br>-- <br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div>
