When a server crashes, how long is it until that server is ready to go again? And is this process automated?
Yes, so the server doesn't have to come again. If we are actually in a time where we're shrinking down, the servers can go away and never get used again. There's another pool of servers. If we are in a time where actually we need resources, the server will crash and it will come back in a different new incarnation. It'll have a new logical name to it, have a new ID to it, and it'll become part of the pools of instances that can host games. But yeah, nothing has a long-lasting name or a long-lasting existence. Everything is, the common word that we use in our field is ephemeral. So these instances are just instances. They come and go all the time. No one touches them. They decide to crash on their own, they get sad.
