Video Description
Monitoring memory usage on a Linux system is a critical part of system performance tuning, resource optimization, and incident response. In this video, we demonstrate how to identify the processes consuming the most memory (RAM) using simple and powerful command-line tools that every Linux user—especially system administrators, DevOps engineers, and SREs—should be familiar with.

🧪 What You'll Learn
Whether you're managing cloud infrastructure, troubleshooting slow applications, or optimizing server performance, knowing how to identify memory-hungry processes is essential. In this step-by-step walkthrough, you’ll learn how to:

View processes sorted by memory usage
Understand what commands and users are involved
Use built-in Linux tools for real-time diagnostics
Get a quick, script-friendly snapshot of memory usage

🧰 Commands Demonstrated
🔧 Commands Used:
```
ps
head
```
➡️ Lists the top 10 memory-consuming commands.
```
ps -eo cmd --sort=-%mem | head -n 11
```
➡️ Shows the Process IDs and the associated command names, sorted by memory usage.
```
ps -eo pid,cmd --sort=-%mem | head -n 11
```
➡️ Adds user context to each process, which is useful when debugging multi-user systems or shared environments.
```
ps -eo user,pid,cmd --sort=-%mem | head -n 11
```

🎯 Why This Video Matters
High memory usage can crash services, slow down critical workloads, or degrade application performance. If you're in charge of infrastructure reliability, this skill helps you:

Act before systems go out of memory
Identify memory leaks or bloated services
Understand user-level vs system-level memory consumption

👨‍💻 Audience
