Description: Load failure refers to the inability of a system to handle the expected load, which can result in poor performance or total service interruption. This phenomenon can occur in various platforms but is especially relevant in virtualization environments. In this context, load failure can manifest when the hypervisor cannot adequately allocate hardware resources to virtual machines, causing them to operate suboptimally. The main characteristics of load failure include CPU saturation, insufficient memory, and lack of network capacity, which can lead to slow response times or even system crashes. The relevance of this concept lies in its direct impact on the availability and efficiency of services that rely on virtualization, affecting both businesses and individual users. Therefore, it is crucial for system administrators to monitor and manage load in virtual environments to prevent these failures and ensure stable and reliable performance.
