Amazon EC2 server outage

by Siu Lun on Jun.28, 2009, under Web

So a few days ago I experienced my first server outage with Amazon EC2.

How long? Unknown (perhaps roughly an hour or two)
Reason? While I was trying to figure out the reason, by pinging the server, nothing responded, it almost seems as the node simply disconnected from the net.

Fix? Well I did fire up another instance to replace it, but in the end, a simple restart instance fixed the issue.

Why could that be? I dunno, but the instance has been up and stable for a period of 6 months.
