architect your app around failure and loss of compute nodes - if you aren't you aren't doing cloud right.

It's not that I didn't architect around the problem, that's besides the point. It's the fact they continuously have poor communication. My projects are relatively small, and were interrupted as a result of the downtime. With some effort (about 15 minutes) I brought them back up. Like I mentioned before, I use this is a testbed (the "beta" for my application) so it wasn't _terrible_. But it was still annoying.
