EC2 Classic was essentially deprecated back in 2013, whether it was said as such at the time or not. 8+ years is an incredibly long sunset period, especially compared to AWS’s competitors.
- eli 5y agoI know what you mean, but I don’t think it counts as a sunset period if they haven’t announced anything.
- notatoad 5y agoyeah, it's not technically a sunset period if they haven't announced the service will be ending. but they've been sending some pretty strong clues - afaik you haven't been able to create new EC2 classic instances for many years now.
- jsjohnst 5y agoFrom Jeff's blog post: > All AWS accounts created after December 4, 2013 are already VPC-only, unless EC2-Classic was enabled as a result of a support request. There were announcements made at the time, but I don't remember if they explicitly called it a deprecated product at the time (hence why I hedged my wording in GP comment).
- ravedave5 5y agoThe writing has been on the wall for quite a while. I got us off our last classics this year due to the october date they had been saying before.
