Storms in The Cloud

Well for all who do not know Amazon offer web services and cloud services is one the services they offer. Well recently my class has been working on assignments that require us to use Amazon's web services. When I first started the assignment everything was going smooth up until around 11 p.m., when I was disconnected from my server instance. Uh oh this is not good so I try to restarting, and rebooting my instance and neither worked. This is not good at all this assignment is due in the morning and I not sure whether I should redo the whole thing or just ask my instructor for help. I guess there is a bright side to this, and that is that this is only practice and not some company's server I'm dealing with. This only goes to show that some clouds do bring bad weather in.
