I am curious if anyone has attempted to run Kafka on EC2 using ephemeral storage for the logs (I am looking to use the I2 or D2 instance types), but actively copying the logs into an EBS volume to aid in bringing a dead broker back to life faster, so that it doesn't have to replicate all messages from peers when it restarts (there would be a script during restore that would copy the EBS backup into the local storage).
