CPU peaks over %100

Dears,

I have the following Linode setup "Linode 16GB: 6 CPU, 320GB Storage, 16GB RAM
" to run a Magento 2 platform.

The CPU usage goes over %100 several times a day, sometimes it reaches %200! Even though there is no heavy traffics to the store website.

What would cause this issue?
Another thing is I can't find the my.cnf file, I looked everywhere but it doesn't exist! What should I do?

I'm not sure what's causing the CPU usage, but I recommend using the 'top' or 'htop' command to see which processes are using the most resources on your Linode.

As for the my.cnf file you can find it in most cases by running the following command:

mysqladmin --help

Or if on a version of MySQL prior to 5.7:

mysqld --help --verbose

In the first few lines MySQL will list all the files it looks at for options.
