EC2 Mandatory Scheduled Reboot Instructions Are Confusing
- gregholmberg 15y agoThis afternoon, 30% of our instances got a never-before-seen "stopwatch" icon in the web UI. This indicates that the instance must undergo scheduled maintenance. We see a new tab with details and deadlines. Our first mandatory reboot is due in a little over ten hours. We have yet to receive any email from Amazon notifying us of the existence of this new "feature". edit: An EC2 user pastebinned a copy of an email from Amazon support that provides additional detail regarding what must happen for each type of reboot: system-reboot and instance-reboot. http://pastebin.com/VzNQDG37 http://pastebin.com/VzNQDG37 edit: To be fair, Amazon does mention the impending new features in the official blog back in mid-November, saying that the new status items will describe "action[s] that we must take on your instance". http://aws.typepad.com/aws/2011/11/ec2-instance-status-monitoring.html http://aws.typepad.com/aws/2011/11/ec2-instance-status-monit...
