Not completely, I'm afraid, BrowserUK. At least, not with respect to Amazon: where were you during the EBS crash on the US east coast that lasted for days, destroyed data, terminated people's web platforms, interrupted business, and made all major news headlines? In fact that April crash is the reason I'm writing up some automation of snap/volumes backup rotation (back to my OP topic), to get safe copies of data into alternate AMZ zones. Not every environment, as you may suggest in the other postings is fully locked down/controllable - dev/ops team has several members who have commit into the script repo and have the right/need to run scripts across that platform to fill certain needs - yes it would be "error" if they made an error but the possibility of them doing something wrong is very real - and so is the possiblity of ec2 (not a fully controlled enviroment unless you believe the marketing) blowing up!! >>And "defensive programming" of every line of code is not that place or mechanism. I take your point and you are correct in saying that there have to be rules around use of programs in cases like these, which I will stress fully! -Harold
