title: When to turn off Transparent Huge Pages for redis
body: <p>According to redis <a href="https://redis.io/topics/latency" rel="noreferrer">docs</a>, it's advisable to disable Transparent Huge Pages. </p>
  
  <p>Would the guidance be the same if the machine was shared between the redis server and the application. </p>
  
  <p>Moreover, for other technologies, I've also read <a href="https://blog.couchbase.com/often-overlooked-linux-os-tweaks/" rel="noreferrer">guidance</a> that THP should be disabled for all production environments when setting up the server. Is this kind of pre-emptiveness applicable to redis as well, or one must first strictly monitor latency issues before deciding to turn off THP?</p>
