1. Network communication: A distributed system relies on communication between different nodes, which can be affected by network latency, bandwidth limitations, and other factors.
2. Fault tolerance: Distributed systems must be designed to handle component failures and system-level failures, which can include hardware failures, software bugs, and network disruptions.
3. Data consistency and integrity: In a distributed system, data may be stored across multiple nodes, which can present challenges for ensuring consistency and integrity.
4. Scalability: Distributed systems must be able to scale easily to handle increasing workloads and to accommodate growth over time.
5. Security: Distributed systems must implement adequate security measures to protect against cyber attacks and data breaches.
6. Complexity: The complexity of distributed systems can make it difficult to diagnose and troubleshoot problems when they arise.
7. Interoperability: Distributed systems must be able to work with other systems and technologies, which can present challenges for ensuring compatibility and consistency across different platforms.
