Hi Guy,
Thanks!
So, when a cloud machine fails does it get de-allocated/wiped out? or
does it is it still out there in a bad state? how do you recover your
data?
For example, in a physical system if the RAM goes bad the machine
crashes but you replace the chip, boot, perform instance recovery and
continue on with your life...
Thanks
