Question

I'm trying to run a rippled non-validator node.
I'm using an 32GB RAM C5 class instance in aws with an external volume - io1 storage with 10000 iops.
I had node reboot for patching and since then it seems fine but it returns
curl --data-binary '{"method": "fee","params": []}' -H 'content-type:text/plain;' http://:5005/
A normal response is like;
{"result":{"current_ledger_size":"68","current_queue_size":"0","drops":{"base_fee":"10","median_fee":"5000","minimum_fee":"10","open_ledger_fee":"10"},"expected_ledger_size":"150","ledger_current_index":51375387,"levels":{"median_level":"128000","minimum_level":"256","open_ledger_level":"256","reference_level":"256"},"max_queue_size":"3000","status":"success"}}
err;
{"result":{"error":"noNetwork","error_code":17,"error_message":"Not synced to Ripple network.","request":{"command":"fee"},"status":"error"}}
After reboot though I just get this Not synced error.
When I spin up a node from fresh it has to download 95GB of data at about 1 a day and it gets the same error while I'm waiting.
I'm wondering what I need to do to keep these nodes stable.

This is my run command:

I ran a C5.xlarge with an io1 storage volume with 10000 iops.
