Preface

The mission of this book is to simplify the tasks of an administrator and equip them with the tools to win the battle not once, not twice, but each time the server acts in a way that is not in accordance with the usual behavior. This book will help administrators ensure that the servers do not face even a nanosecond of outage as businesses in today's world are entirely dependent on these machines.

After reading and following the guidelines carefully, you will be able to identify the problems in Ubuntu Server, diagnose the causes, and rectify them. The areas this book intends to cover are networks, CPU, memory, and handling cloud computing-related issues using OpenStack.
