1. Challenge

   Create the Memory Report

   In order to create the memory report you have been asked to provide, you can get a list of the memory resources in total and in use with the following command:

   free
   

   In order to make it more readable, you can add -h (human readable) combined with -m (megabytes) or -g (gigabytes). So to see those values, you would use:

   free -gh
   

   Finally, redirect that output to the desired file via the command:

   free -gh > /home/cloud_user/memory.rep
   

2. Challenge

   Create the System Storage Report

   In addition to available memory, you will need to create a report on the system storage and associated mounts on your system. You can look at available storage by mount via the command:

   df
   

   Much like the memory report, you can clean up the appearance with -h (for human readable), looking like this:

   df -h
   

   Finally, redirect this to the report file as asked with:

   df -h > /home/cloud_user/mounts.rep
   

3. Challenge

   Create a List of System Processes

   Finally, you will want to create a report on system processes for all users in the environment. Processes can be viewed by the command:

   ps
   

   Formatting the report for all users on the system, running any process can be done adding the 'aux' parameters like so:

   ps aux
   

   Redirecting to a report file can be done via:

   ps aux > /home/cloud_user/procs.rep
