Kill that instance, and spin up a new one.
A wise BOFH gave a preso that stuck with me "Treat EC2 instances like cattle. When one strays off the farm, put a bullet in it's head."
Don't treat your cloud machines as special snowflakes. Build infrastructure via script.
- aianus 11y agoHow does that add any security? Anyone with access to your root AWS credentials still has your IP addresses and your EBS volumes/snapshots and can do whatever they want.
- balls187 11y agoI wasn't addressing security; I addressed your comment about what do you do if SSHD crashes. For grins, I wonder how many root AWS creds are tied to Gmail (read: Google) accounts.
