Linux Performance and Production Checks
Move from command familiarity into production-minded checks for CPU, memory, disk, uptime, and dependency health.
The next level of Linux confidence is learning how to compare a healthy system with a degraded one under pressure.
This topic teaches practical performance checks and production health habits. Learners inspect disk pressure, memory use, load, open ports, and system health signals in a way that supports both support and engineering work.
It helps turn Linux from a command-line skill into a real operational capability.
