I've recently inherited Admin responsibilities for managing our Confluence server (version 6.0.3). It is currently out of date, so I would like to build a recovery/test server prior to upgrading.
We currently host our instance of Confluence on a Linux EC2 instance with daily snapshots and the database stored with RDS. The instance is behind a load balancer as well.
My AWS knowledge is limited (but growing fast) - but, has anyone performed something like this before? Is there a best practice for the order of operation in which you do things?
i.e. create a new volume from the snapshot > attach the volume to the new instance >etc
Then, is there anything that needs to be changed manually within the instance?
Thanks for any help you can give!
