You might be interested in our strategies for managing different types of failures:

- In case of an EC2 instance failure, we take advantage of EBS's ability to be attached to multiple instances(https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ebs/latest/userguide/ebs-volumes...). This allows us to quickly mount the EBS volume from the failed EC2 instance onto another Broker, facilitating a seamless failover process. - For failures that affect an entire availability zone, we utilize Regional EBS which is available in Azure and GCP: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/disks/regional-persist...

Ok yeah, multi-attach was the magic I was looking for to handle failure of instances.

Thanks!
