This is the kind of thing you're susceptible to when you use AWS products that start with E: EBS, ELB, etc..

- mh- 13y agowhere's EC2 fall in that?
- nieksand 13y agoAt a minimum, you should use at least two availability zones if you care about high-availability on AWS. The vast majority of issues (including the current EBS hiccup) tend to be limited to one AZ. For us, today's outage triggered a bunch of alerts, knocked 1/4 of our USE attribution servers offline (we're in four zones there) but otherwise caused no impact. Mostly just acked alerts and twiddled thumbs waiting for situation to resolve.
- weitzj 13y agoif you want a safer EBS, create a raid ontop i and use snapshots.
- gregr401 13y agoNo, this is the kind of thing that happens with a poor application architecture (ie, using one AZ). Sad that companies still can't get this right.
