The cloud providers now know of this bug. They will live migrate you to a different machine or shutdown reboot. Only on-premise will have this issue.

They won't though. An EC2 stays in the same server even if its service is degraded, afaik.
Which CSPs do live migration?
And it works miraculously well. I have seen a very large Oracle DB with many reads and many updates migrate with no effects outside of a big spike in sql execution times for the few hundred milliseconds it takes between the source pause and the destination resume. Seen various GCP bugs, mostly VPN and pub sun, but never anything from migration. They migrate about all the instances every two weeks, so it is an often exercised path.
