That's what I was thinking... I mean, this is cool and all, but the only reason I'd ever muck around at this level is if I was actually responsible for the physical hardware and there was a cost associated with replacing it. The whole point of moving to the cloud is to pay somebody else to have to worry about anything I can comprehend needing this for.
- monocasa 6y agoA lot of medium sized companies moved to the cloud without understanding the tradeoffs. And they have big pockets when it matters.

If you manage to have a system that breaks your kernel, chances are switching instances won't help, and figuring it out will help. If it crashes, you can get a core dump, but if it loops in a bad place and that only breaks some things, the debugger can show things quickly. Also serial console is pretty handy when you push bad firewall rules and don't want to throw away your instance.
