On which other systems or platforms can swap memory usage be disabled besides Kubernetes nodes?

Disabling swap memory can be done not only on Kubernetes nodes but also on other systems and platforms, such as:

• Linux servers and workstations — using the swapoff command or editing configuration files to disable swap completely or for specific swap partitions.

• Virtual machines (VMs) — swap can be disabled in the hypervisor settings for the guest OS.

• Cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) — swap management can be handled at the level of virtual machines or containers by disabling it in the OS settings.

• Other container platforms (Docker, OpenShift) — swap can be disabled or limited through container launch parameters or host settings.

Example of disabling swap on Linux:

sudo swapoff -a  # disable all swap

Or for permanent disablement — remove or comment out swap partitions in /etc/fstab.
