The irony or perhaps the tragedy of building a low friction service is that you have to have experts on the lower level high friction stuff.

I would hope that after a couple of hours downtime, they'd bring up a fresh machine with Ansible or whatever. Hardware or AWS/GCP Vm.

It is not just about a fresh machine which hopefully sits in each datacenter. I can imagine they needed the clone of the system due to the design of the fly.io service and that's where the "fun" begins.
