When they vanish without warning, do they take the EBS with them?
Is having your OS on an EBS (as is required for micro) a dangerous thing, because the instance vanishing without warning might result in a corrupted EBS drive, making restoration more complicated than spinning up a new instance?
- rbranson 16y agoI've had the same experience with smalls as the parent poster. No EBS loss though. The larger instances do seem more stable. No quantitative data to back that up though.
- seldo 16y agoI don't know if 75+ instances over 18 months is large enough to count as quantitative data, but we've never lost a large instance (they've had temporary failures). All four of the permanent vanishing-acts were smalls.
- seldo 16y agoEBS is pretty solid in my experience; I've never lost an EBS volume (on the contrary, I seem to have stacks of them lying around from boxes I killed without killing the EBS... need to do some housekeeping...).
