Out of curiosity and for the sake of completeness, by failure, you're probably talking about an error that the script itself can detect? What about a scenario where the EC2 goes down (silently)?

Money that I have on my person, is always better than money that I cannot access. There is usually at least a short lag between $DISASTER and $ECONOMY_COLLAPSE during which many people are happy to take cash and provide food, shelter and tr
