Memory management​

Users can check the RAM and SWAP status on their project virtual machines with the free command. If the project virtual machine is low on memory (RAM or SWAP), users should look for orphaned/old/abandoned processes under their USER_ID and terminate them to free memory resources on the virtual machine.

Terminating processes​

If a user needs to terminate an old or orphaned process, the kill command can be used to immediately stop a lost/corrupted/unwanted process.
