Availability of Guest OSs
CSPs offer a range of features and services to enhance the availability of guest OSs within their virtualized environments:
- CSPs provide load-balancing services that distribute incoming traffic across multiple instances of VMs running a guest OS. Auto-scaling capabilities automatically adjust the number of VM instances based on demand, ensuring optimal performance and availability.
- Most of the CSPs offer the concept of availability zones, which are physically separate data centers within a region. Deploying VMs across different availability zones enhances fault tolerance and resilience.
