I run things at a mid sized company and I get AWS emails like this daily. There's always something that needs attention. Except sometimes it doesn't really need attention. Other times it's something absolutely critical. Sometimes can't tell unless I read 50 pages of documentation and talk to their support.
Meanwhile at my old job, we had actual servers and vms in house. We had a machine running some obscure service sitting in a corner for two decades with no problems. Magical.

I once had a contract job at place that hadn't updated their systems in over 5 years. One server, a VM like you describe, had a 1500 day uptime. The VP/CIO was in a panic because nothing was supported anymore.
