Advanced Linux Troubleshooting in DevOps and Cloud: Practical Use Cases and Commands

Linux administrators in DevOps or cloud roles need to have troubleshooting skills to ensure smooth running of applications and infrastructure.
The first scenario involves a web application running slowly on an EC2 instance in AWS, which might be due to resource consumption such as CPU, memory or disk I/O.
Checking application logs for errors, troubleshooting network, load balancer and target group health of Application Load Balancer (ALB) will provide more insight into the issue.
The second scenario involves high memory usage on an EC2 instance, which could lead to an OOM kill.
Linux administrators need to determine which processes are consuming the most memory, review application logs for memory-related issues, and check for zombie processes.
An easy fix to this can be adding swap space temporarily, which extends memory on to disk.
The third scenario involves experiencing frequent database connection timeouts, which could be attributed to max_Connections limits.
Linux administrators can increase max_connections parameter and restart MySQL service.
Linux administrators should monitor system logs, check resource usage, review application-specific logs, and troubleshoot network issues for efficient Linux system debugging and troubleshooting.
The examples highlighted provide practical steps and commands that can be implemented in real-world scenarios to diagnose and resolve Linux system issues in DevOps and cloud operations roles.

Streamlining SSH Key Management

Managing SSH authentication keys for multiple servers is challenging and risky.
A Bash script can be used to streamline, secure, and manage the SSH key pairs.
The SSH config file ( .ssh/config ) contains key parameters to manage various SSH connections.
The config file can be organized and simplified by using include files.
The Bash script generates unique key pairs, creates a config file for each server, and ensures they link back to the main config file.
The script creates a directory to store the SSH key pair and configuration file, sets file permissions, and generates SSH key pairs using ed25519 algorithm, with no passphrase.
A config file for the new login is created and stored in the same directory as the SSH keys.
Linking the server’s address and username into a single alias simplifies connecting to servers.
The script also tests the login and logs out the remote server at the end of the script.
The script enhances SSH key security while making it easier to generate keys and keep them well-organized.
