So three different environments have had the ELB just release all of their clients and not come back onboard. Manual intervention was the only way. Whats the recommended way to monitor if instances have become detached or non responsive? Want to immediately alert slack or send an email, etc.

There are a lot of ways to integrate, but we use datadog and I generally find it excellent. Alerts to hipchat, pagerduty, etc, with AWS Cloudwatch integration. Of course, you have to assume the Cloudwatch API is working... :)

  A vote for datadog here too. Just started using it - it's clear that someone there really loves data.

djbdns enables one to configure multiple IPs for just one http server. Host with multiple, geographically distant data centers. If any one server drops offline, remove it from your tinydns "data" file. For that to yield joy you need a shorter timeout than is normally used for webserver DNS. Each data center must be operated by a different company. The problem tonight appears to be internal to Amazon, so different AWS data centers won't help you. I only recommend four. The people that run them know more about hosting than you or I could ever hope to: http://prgmr.com/ http://www.budgetdedicated.com/ http://prq.se/?intl=1 Ivory Tower Group LLC is no longer in the hosting biz but I expect I can convince them to return to it, given tonight's market opportunity. If so I recommend them highly as well, and will post their hosting service URL in a reply. PRQ is somewhat pricy, but: Our boundless commitment to free speech has been tested and proven over and over again.
