Some virtualization platforms support live migrations (hyper-v and ESXi), but this isn’t something AWS supports (afaik). Anytime your instance is stopped/started or rebooted then you may end up on a different physical host.

The instance isn’t terminated (gone). It’s either shutdown or rebooted depending on the type of hardware failure.

Having gone from a lot of C# to some Go, I’m use to passing in a CancellationToken to all asynchronous methods. I’ve noticed that there’s a lot of Go libraries missing Context support too .
Re:Ask HN: How often do you ask for help? on Wednesday April 10, 2019 @07:22AM (#19623572)
As long as you’re not asking the same questions repeatedly, then you’re doing great! It’s important that you’re learning, growing, and asking new questions. Collaborating and asking for help is an important part of being a team.

Many people like being asked to help. I love giving my coworkers a second pair of eyes and helping them discover a solution to their problem. It’s incredibly rewarding and I’ll almost always learn something.
