title: EC2 retirement - Meteor / MongoDB
body: <p>I am hosting my Meteor Application on an Amazon EC2 instance. Today I got a mail that my instance is scheduled for retirement until the end of month. I don't have any experience with that and what are the best ways to handle the situation.</p>
  
  <p>My root device type is ebs.</p>
  
  <p>Amazon suggests: "We recommend that you launch replacement instances and start migrating to them."</p>
  
  <p>I already created an AMI Image of my instance and launched it. Unfortunatly my app can't be reached. At the moment the instance can be reached normally via web and ssh. Is there any best practice?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance</p>
