> At work every machine reboots at least every month. Everything is designed to cope with that reality. Count your blessings. Not all of us work with software so well designed. For us, at least, a server going down can be anywhere from an "eh" to a desperate need for attention, depending on the exact VM. Some technologies just don't take it that well. (Including many that are on HN.) Further, every server went down in a very tight window. If you weren't replicated across regions, for all you knew, every VM might be rebooting at the same time. I know you should be replicated across regions, but again, count your blessings.
