cold plug vs hot plug VFIO
Yielded:
In VFIO (Virtual Function I/O), "cold plug" means attaching a device (like a GPU) to a VM before the VM starts, while "hot plug" means attaching it while the VM is running, with "cold" being the standard, reliable way (passthrough) and "hot" being a more advanced, dynamic (but potentially complex) method for live device addition/removal, *requiring specific hardware/software support to avoid system instability or data loss, unlike simple spark plug heat ranges which are about engine temperature management. *
