Uninstall tuned Package

An XCCDF Rule

Description

The tuned package can be removed with the following command: 
$ sudo yum erase tuned

warning alert: Warning

This rule is disabled on Red Hat Virtualization Hosts and Managers, it will report not applicable. RHV requires tuned package for tuning profiles that can enhance virtualization performance.

Rationale

tuned contains a daemon that tunes the system settings dynamically. It does so by monitoring the usage of several system components periodically. Based on that information, components will then be put into lower or higher power savings modes to adapt to the current usage.
