FRED is back from today's EC2 outage. Amazon has three of the four availability zones in their us-east-1 region (virginia) datacenter operating. Unfortunately, FRED's database server was running in the one zone that is still sick. However, I was able to snapshot the database's EBS volume and create a new volume from that snapshot in one of the other zones, then fire up a new DB server instance in that zone, attach the new volume to that instance and get things rolling again.
While riding the bus home from work.
Yay for wifi on the bus. Boo for Amazon having a full day outage.
I was getting pretty proud of FRED's 99.99% 30 day uptime. Now it's all shot to hell: 97.58%!
Oh well. At least it wasn't on friday or saturday when everyone would be trying to download their preregs.
