On AWS currently soapbox-web-006, soapbox-web-007 and soapbox-web-008 are offline. To bring one of these servers back online:

• Start the instance on the AWS EC2 console
• Log into Forge and go to the server then go to the server's meta page and update the external IP of the server with the new external IP from AWS
• Make sure the internal IP is the same (it usually is)
• Log into Envoyer
  • For each project this server belongs to
    • Go to the project
    • Click Servers
    • Find the server and click the pencil to edit it
    • Update the Project Path, IP Address, enable Receives Code Deployments, disable Reload FPM After Deployments
    • Add the server to the necessary deployment hooks
    • Resync the environment to the server
    • Redeploy code for the project
• Go back to forge and go to the load balancer
• For each site the server belongs to add the server to the list of balanced servers for that site.
