This is the most common form of an operating system failure in Unix-like systems. In computing, a crash, or system crash, occurs when a computer program such as a software application or an operating system stops functioning properly and exits.
If the user has enabled it, the system will also write an entry to the system event log. The log entry contains information about the bug check (including the bug check code and its parameters) as well as a link that will report the bug and provide the user with prescriptive suggestions if the cause of the check is definitive and well-known.
In computing, a segmentation fault (often shortened to segfault) or access violation is a fault, or failure condition, raised by hardware with memory protection, notifying an operating system (OS) the software has attempted to access a restricted area of

In that sense, a fail-fast system will make sure that all the 10 redundant servers fail as soon as possible to make the DevOps react fast. Fail-fast components are often used in situations where failure in one component might not be visible until it leads to failure in another component as a consequence of lazy initialization. e.g.
A C program may also use the exit() function specifying the integer status or exit macro as the first parameter. The return value from main is passed to the exit function, which for values zero, EXIT_SUCCESS or EXIT_FAILURE may translate it to "an implementation defined form" of successful termination or unsuccessful termination.

Failure Reporting (FR). The failures and the faults related to a system, a piece of equipment, a piece of software or a process are formally reported through a standard form (Defect Report, Failure Report). Analysis (A). Perform analysis in order to identify the root cause of failure. Corrective Actions (CA).
A single point of failure (SPOF) is a part of a system that, if it fails, will stop the entire system from working. [1] SPOFs are undesirable in any system with a goal of high availability or reliability , be it a business practice, software application, or other industrial system.
