Problem

Tell me about how you would troubleshoot a Linux server that suddenly becomes unresponsive.

Explain how you would confirm the failure, preserve evidence, isolate the cause, and restore service safely. Cover stakeholder communication, escalation, rollback or recovery decisions, and the follow-up actions that would prevent recurrence.
