Production pod suddenly unreachable, how long can I expect this to last for? (Please provide ETA)
Hi, I have an On-Demand Secure Cloud pod that runs the backend for my app. My app is now not working, and the pod has the message in the screenshot. How long can I expect this to last for? Minutes? Hours?

Thanks. I have created a ticket. I have emailed support. This is the third hours long outage in three months. The first lasted a day and a half. This can't keep happening with mission critical infrastructure.

When you say "which cloud", i assume that means secure vs community? I'm on secure cloud. Canada region
I'm in the process of setting up skypilot now to hopefully have some better stability

will do, so far its been very intuitive to set up. still need to figure out where to host the gateway, but running locally its already working, was trivial; about ~15 minutes to connect my app to it.

yeah, will probably use DO, i've already got a couple apps running on App Platform. Cant use Runpod to host the gateway to get around runpod issues, not reliable enough 😉

I sure hope it doesn't actually take support this long to respond.

Bummer, thats a dealbreaker for us if it pans out that way.
I worked around it by creating a second instance of the pod and updating my app to point to that. Same cloud, same region, same spec
The first instance is still buggered.

Nah, it occured to me to try this before i fully deployed skypilot. I will get back to skypilot in the coming days, but its no longer an emergency, and I have more pressing matters to attend to.

Thanks BTW, the little bit of back and forth here really helped keep me sane. I would have become increasingly frustrated if I was just faced with silence.
