I see your point. Why waste time. The only thing is, what if you spin
up your new cloud instance and get the same symptom? Nowww you have to
troubleshoot, so the question is, in this situation where you must
troubleshoot, what do you think of system transparency (a system or
subsystem with accessible test points and adjustments AND the ability
to see its sub components and how they connect to each other)?
