How to Configure Kubernetes Persistent Volumes on RHEL 9 — step-by-step RHEL 9 tutorial on Progressive Robot

How to Configure Kubernetes Persistent Volumes on RHEL 9

Kubernetes separates storage provisioning (creating storage volumes) from storage consumption (using volumes in pods) through two resource types: PersistentVolumes (PVs) and PersistentVolumeClaims (PVCs). A PersistentVolume is a piece of storage in the cluster provisioned by an administrator or dynamically by a StorageClass. A PersistentVolumeClaim is a request for storage by a user — it specifies […]

How to Monitor Disk Usage with df, du, lsblk and ncdu on RHEL 9

Running out of disk space is one of the most disruptive failures a server can experience. When a filesystem fills up, applications crash, log files stop writing (losing audit trails), databases corrupt transactions, and web servers return 500 errors. Proactive disk monitoring is essential — and RHEL 9 provides a full set of tools for […]

How to Configure sudo and Sudoers on RHEL 9 — step-by-step RHEL 9 tutorial on Progressive Robot

How to Configure sudo and Sudoers on RHEL 9

The sudo (superuser do) tool allows designated users to run commands with elevated privileges without sharing the root password. This is fundamental to the principle of least privilege: each administrator gets exactly the access they need for their role, no more. When access is misconfigured — for example with blanket ALL=(ALL) ALL entries or unsafe […]

How to Create and Manage Swap Space on RHEL 9 — step-by-step RHEL 9 tutorial on Progressive Robot

How to Create and Manage Swap Space on RHEL 9

Swap space acts as overflow memory. When the physical RAM is full, the Linux kernel moves the least-recently-used memory pages to swap on disk, freeing physical RAM for active processes. Without swap, when RAM is exhausted the Out of Memory (OOM) killer terminates processes — often the largest one, which is frequently your database or […]
