Can check if you're using swap with sudo swapon --show and free -h.
Useful for t2.micro and other instances with no access to instance store. Use this if you prefer not to mess with the root volume.
- Create the EBS volume e.g., 1 GB.
| # Ubuntu 14.04 don't have nsenter - the straight forward way required me to install build tools and etc. | |
| # I preferred to keep the system clean and install nsenter in a container and then copy the command to the host | |
| # Note - its also possible to run nsenter from a container (didn't tried) https://github.com/jpetazzo/nsenter | |
| # start a container | |
| docker run --name nsenter -it ubuntu:14.04 bash | |
| ## in the docker | |
| apt-get update | |
| apt-get install git build-essential libncurses5-dev libslang2-dev gettext zlib1g-dev libselinux1-dev debhelper lsb-release pkg-config po-debconf autoconf automake autopoint libtool |
