7. Risks & mitigation
- Risk: Network bottlenecks — Mitigation: High-bandwidth spine-leaf fabric, QoS, monitoring.
- Risk: GPU/codec vendor lock-in — Mitigation: Modular software stack, support for open codecs (AV1).
- Risk: Data loss — Mitigation: Erasure coding, automated snapshots, hybrid cloud backup.
- Risk: Latency spikes — Mitigation: Prioritized traffic paths, RDMA and tuned OS stacks.
- Gradients: Skin tones under studio lighting transition smoothly without banding.
- Contrast: Shadows in moody scenes retain detail; highlights on reflective surfaces (glass, water, satin) are brilliant without clipping.
