You enter the car and see LA=100. What are your actions?

LA (Load Average) equal to 100 means that on average, over the last 1, 5, and 15 minutes, there were 100 processes in the queue to be executed. This is a very high load, usually exceeding the number of available CPUs.

Actions:

1. Check the number of CPUs on the machine (e.g., nproc or lscpu) to understand how much LA exceeds the number of cores.
2. Use top or htop to identify processes that consume CPU and resources.
3. Check if any cyclic or hung tasks are running.
4. Review system and application logs for errors or anomalies.
5. If necessary, limit the load, restart problematic services, or redistribute tasks.
6. If this is a production server, notify the team and possibly scale the infrastructure.

It is important not to panic but to systematically analyze the causes of high load.
