- RyanGWU82 15y agoWe've got 160 instances affected, which is obviously going to require a pretty massive amount of work. I'd estimate we'll be spending about 30 hours on this project over the next week. Yes it sucks, but asking you to reboot your servers once a year isn't exactly a huge hardship. It's easy to forget that the cloud is powered by real physical infrastructure, and that cloud vendors have maintenance needs too. AWS gave us a fair amount of notice about the reboots, and they've been understanding and helpful along the way. I'm willing to be understanding toward them too.
