AWS Auto recovery on EC2 Instances

[rocketman]

Hi,

Just received marketing email from AWS about Auto Recovery being available on EC2 instances. I was just wondering whether anyone had experience of this. How is AIM licensing affected when an instance is rebuilt using different underlying hardware?

This from the cloudwatch page

"You can create an Amazon CloudWatch alarm that monitors an Amazon EC2 instance and automatically recovers the instance if it becomes impaired due to an underlying hardware failure or a problem that requires AWS involvement to repair. Terminated instances cannot be recovered. A recovered instance is identical to the original instance, including the instance ID, private IP addresses, Elastic IP addresses, and all instance metadata.
