Hi, I've seen both - some unknown reason for it to die (mostly related to the underlying hardware having issues). We also see instance failure from time to time with advanced notice. Just like a regular machine dies from time to time, so do cloud instances. I'd say it's bit more common on the cloud, but not by a big margin. I might see it more because I have hundreds of instances running. Bye, Guy.
