Man I remember, whenever we needed to update a cloudformation template that triggered an ElasticSearch modification it was horrible. And of course, after waiting 1.5h, some dns change failed and it had to be rolled back and you just wasted half a day.

Fun times.

That reminds me of that time I had to do a snapshot on an EBS volume that had Jenkins on it. Took five days to do a 2TB volume.

Local VMware about ten minutes.

Edit: I notice a flurry of downvotes arriving since US woke up. Must be Amazon team coming on line :)

AWS mislabeled something that is a "backup" (delta copy to s3) as a "snapshot". That's not what is called snapshot in the storage world. Granted ESX snapshots aren't exactly that either.
