When physical RAM is already in use, VM instances use swap space as a short-term replacement for physical RAM.

Contents of RAM that aren’t in active use or that aren’t needed as urgently as other data or instructions can be temporarily paged to a swap file. This frees up RAM for more immediate use.

Resolution

Calculate the swap space size

As a general rule, calculate swap space according to the following:

Amount of physical RAM	Recommended swap space
2 GB of RAM or less	2x the amount of RAM but never less than 32 MB
More than 2 GB of RAM but less than 32 GB	4 GB + (RAM – 2 GB)
32 GB of RAM or more	1x the amount of RAM

Note: Swap space should never be less than 32 MB.

In this example dd command, the swap file is 4 GB (128 MB x 32):

$ sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=128M count=32

2. Update the read and write permissions for the swap file:

$ sudo chmod 600 /swapfile

3. Set up a Linux swap area:

$ sudo mkswap /swapfile

4. Make the swap file available for immediate use by adding the swap file to swap space:

$ sudo swapon /swapfile

5. Verify that the procedure was successful:

$ sudo swapon -s

6. Enable the swap file at boot time by editing the /etc/fstab file.

Open the file in the editor:

$ sudo nano /etc/fstab

Add the following new line at the end of the file, save the file, and then exit:

/swapfile swap swap defaults 0 0

Flask is a lightweight WSGI web application framework. It is designed to make getting started quick and easy, with the ability to scale up to complex applications. It began as a simple wrapper around Werkzeug and Jinja and has become one of the most popular Python web application frameworks.

Step #0:
Signup (I appreciate if you use my referral link)
https://www.vpsserver.com/?affcode=21edd2c7bade
after your account becomes verified, create a Ubuntu 19.04 server.

Step #1:
Install python pip and flask by run:
$ sudo apt install python-pip
$ sudo apt install python3-pip
$ pip install -U Flask
$ pip3 install -U Flask

Step #2:
Add your project files on the server (ex. from GitHub using clone command)
in this tutorial let’s use a very simple flask app example that prints Hello, World! and save the app in (ex. /var/www/flask):

$ mkdir /var/www/flask
$ cd /var/www/flask
$ nano app.py
copy below code and paste it in app.py file using CTRL + SHIFT + V keys.

# app.py file

from flask import Flask

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route("/")
def hello():
    return "Hello, World!"

then press ( CTRL+ X )-> Y -> ENTER.

Step #3:
Run the server by run:
$ env FLASK_APP=app.py flask run -h xxx.xxx.xxx
change xxx.xxx.xxx to your server ip

output:

Serving Flask app "app.py"
 * Environment: production
   WARNING: This is a development server. Do not use it in a production deployment.
   Use a production WSGI server instead.
 * Debug mode: off
 * Running on http://xxx.xxx.xxx:5000/ (Press CTRL+C to quit)

Allocate memory to work as swap space on VMs
