Scenario: How to limit memory usage per user on CentOS/RHEL
System: CentOS/RHEL 6/7
I would like to cap the amount of memory the users on a server can use. The applications developed by our users have memory leaks and I want to prevent them from using all the memory and crashing the system.
Resolution
It is possible to limit the amount of memory that each process can allocate with the RLIMIT facility in Red Hat Enterprise Linux. RLIMIT_AS limits the size of the virtual address space and it is a suitable solution in many cases which require limiting per-process memory consumption even though there are many limits related to memory.

# vi /etc/yum.repos.d/MariaDB.repo
On CentOS 7
[mariadb]
name = MariaDB
baseurl = http://yum.mariadb.org/10.1/centos7-amd64
gpgkey=https://yum.mariadb.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-MariaDB
gpgcheck=1
On RHEL 7
[mariadb]

Scenario: Set up Ansible callback to monitor running task on remote machine.
Ansible system: CentOS 7, Ansible 2.6
Remote machines:
Both have same root password
1. CentOS 7, ip address: 192.168.99.18
2. CentOS 6, ip address: 192.168.99.19
I set up callback plugins to see running ansible-playbook task on remote machine and it is fun and useful.
To set up callback, edit /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg and change the value to minimal.
# vi /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg
stdout_callback = minimal
