Thanks, the rsync to EBS is what I was rolling around in my head, but wasn't sure if it was a dumb idea.
We used to use Elastic Block Store, but have gotten incredible performance gains from moving to SSD local storage. The ES team doesn't recommend any kind of NAS <http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/hardware.html>, and they re-iterated in their recent webinar that they couldn't really recommend EBS. This was exactly in line with our experience: it will work, but performance is less predictable and certainly degraded from ephermal storage. Sounds like I have two options: 1 - shutdown and just restore from snapshot when we start back up. 2 - sync local storage to EBS when we shutdown, and the reverse when we start up. Not sure if the juice is going to be worth the squeeze for either of these options, but I appreciate everyone's thoughts.
