Lost time with these database instances will never be recovered but with some explanation, closure and healing may be possible.
Wait - isn't this a tech outage? Have I missed a hideous psychological tragedy?
Several versions of Amazon Web Services' Aurora PostgreSQL went missing earlier this week, prompting concern among AWS customers. Greg Clough, a software engineer who uses the American super-cloud, noticed that AWS Aurora PostgreSQL v10.12, v10.13, and v11.8 vanished from every AWS region on Monday without explanation. And in …

"Use of the name(s) or logo in a software product that is unrelated to PostgreSQL and does not run on it, or work with it."
Its The Cloud, its magic, it never has tech problems because the rainbow pixies make everything Just Work and customer applications run smoothly for all eternity without the same kind of issues the useless overpaid do-nothing hobgoblins in the old company server room said they had to cope with. Has there been a glitch in the Maxtrix?
Oh wait, the cloud is just a way for bean counters to offload costs into a different ledger and has nothing to do with better uptimes or support.
