Hi Jon-Paul,
I've thought about doing that. This is my forth instance so far. I started playing with Hana in early 2013. The first instance I created worked pretty well. I was able to add about ten other developers on it. The more recent instances don't seem to be reliable and I keep creating new ones whenever there's a new release to try and stabilize it.
With this specific instance, I was unable to login with the SYSTEM user id and the password I'd assigned when I created it. The next day it magically started working. Now I can't connect with Hana Studio at all due to "Invalid credentials" with the SYSTEM user id. I can SSH into the server and I can connect with FileZillla but not with Hana Studio.
I guess I wanted to figure out how to fix the problem rather than just create a new instance but you're right, that's probably the quickest way to fix it at this point.
Are other people having issues keeping Hana on AWS running? Would it be better to use a different cloud provider?
Thanks for the help,
