Hi,

I've been on the freedos.org website yesterday. No problems seen, it all
worked. And I looked now again and it still has no problems...

[Freedos-devel] Problems on website?

[Jim Hall]

Has anyone had problems accessing the website recently?

I haven't seen any issues, but I was just notified that Amazon's "EC2 has
detected degradation of the underlying hardware hosting your Amazon EC2
instance." So they are advising me to set up a fresh instance on another
"AMI" (virtual server) to host the website. If I'm reading the email right,
Amazon says I should do this by the end of the month before they shut down
the server that's running my virtual server.

(This seems weird to me as one benefit of virtual servers is you can
automatically move them off failing servers to other servers, without the
virtual server's owner being aware. But maybe I didn't buy into that level
of service; I'm running the low-cost instance.)

Just wanted to see if anyone was having problems, and share that if you do
see problems on the website, this might be the reason.

Something similar happened to my own website (I'm running a gaming
studios).Since I can't exactly dedicate my room to be a server closet,I had
to choose a 3rd party host.The 3rd party host apparently had a failing
server,so my site was down while they moved it.

Good to know. :-)

I'll add that I have a full copy of www.freedos.org on offline storage. So
if anything happens and Amazon loses the live website, it won't take long
to put things back.

Re: [Freedos-devel] Problems on website?

[Louis Santillan]

No issues noticed.

EC2 [0][1] instances are the lowest level (or basis/basic level)
technologies in the AWS stack.  High Availability/Disaster
Recovery/Fail Over (HA/DR/FO) is not something you buy in AWS; it's
something that is configured (relatively easily).  Something like
Cloud Formation [2], Elastic Beanstalk [3], Troposphere [4], Terraform
can do the more intelligent scaling & failure recovery that you're
describing/expecting.  Really, those things are
scripting/specification technologies layered on top of EC2, S3, AMI,
EBS, ELB.

If you need help setting up a HA/DR/FO config, let me know.  At work
we support dozens of public web apps and sites on AWS.
