Scenario 1: System Health Check

# Quick health check script
echo "=== System Load ===" && uptime
echo "=== Memory Usage ===" && free -h
echo "=== Disk Usage ===" && df -h
echo "=== Failed Services ===" && systemctl --failed

Scenario 2: Troubleshoot High Load

# 1. Check load
uptime

# 2. Find high CPU processes
ps aux --sort=-%cpu | head -10

# 3. Find high memory processes
ps aux --sort=-%mem | head -10
