i have a question about pack-datomic: should the vm automatically be killed if the transactor process fails? I believe that is the behaviour of the AMI provided with Datomic when you use ensure-transactor.

It appears that this is not the case with pack-datomic, but maybe I'm misconfiguring something

I think we haven't had official endorsement from Cognitect because of that fact

stijn 2017-10-09T11:31:49.000098Z

what would be needed to make it so?

I can setup cloudwatch alarms to terminate the instance, but I guess that's not how it works with the official AMI

@stijn you are 100% right - we need to update the AMI for this

jonpither 2017-10-09T12:00:56.000200Z

I just haven't looked into it

stijn 2017-10-09T12:03:33.000330Z

@jonpither or is it enough to update the user data (cloud init)?

stijn 2017-10-09T12:04:07.000023Z

and then launch the instance with the 'terminate on shutdown' option

jonpither 2017-10-09T12:04:42.000016Z

I think you know better than I. I know of the requirement and it's true, but I haven't look into at all

stijn 2017-10-09T12:04:57.000193Z

ok, i'll give it a try

jonpither 2017-10-09T12:05:01.000262Z

amazing 🙂
