I don't care if a server goes down, I can launch a new one in a matter of minutes (with ansible) without any data loss.
- dangrossman 13y agoWhich of those things you named is protecting you from losing your database? I paid the uber-high fees for RDS with Multi-AZ failover and... well... it failed, then didn't fail over to another AZ. The instance ended up down for hours before they recovered it. That's when I jumped ship from AWS, wrote off the reserved instance payments, moved the database to some rented servers at SoftLayer, and handle nightly off-site backups myself. Not only do I have working backups and failover, but 4-8x the capacity per dollar.
