Ask HN: Why did AWS suddenly restart our Aurora database?

1 pointEGreg1 comment

Where can I find out why "recovery" was necessary? I am a bit worried about AWS Aurora now, since they can do this at any time with no explanation. Also does AWS have a way to automatically back up the database to Glacier or something, or I have to just set up our own MySQL replication manually somewhere offsite?
