Could you please confirm or provide evidence for such speculation?
I don't see anything about this on google.
I heard it is because they are having power issues within their datacenter.

- coolbeans01 12y agoCool speculation! Anyone with anything concrete? I still heard it is power issues.
- reedloden 12y agoNot sure how power issues would affect every single region. Logic dictates it's likely a security issue.
- jsmthrowaway 12y agoI'd just like to point out that you asked for concrete, then speculated based on something you heard.
- aioprisan 12y agoAren't you speculating as well?
- mdellabitta 12y agoRestarting an instance (not stop-start) doesn't change the hardware you're on, so I don't think this has a physical explanation.
- tehmasp 12y agoall of our instances scheduled for maint. are indeed system-reboot event types; it is indeed a stop/start situation. stop/start can possibly put you on another physical - but it all depends on how aws has setup the hypervisors and their instance schedulers. this, the maint from aws, appears to be security related - but that doesn't mean that aws is not getting folks off of old hardware if they have that desire.
- mdellabitta 12y agoI think it's more complicated than that. Because Amazon is claiming that if you let them handle it, you keep your instance data. That's not a stop-start (at least what we ordinary users can do). It's more like a system restart with a little downtime managed by them. You can try a stop-start yourself, but it's not guaranteed to help. And a restart yourself doesn't do anything.
- count 12y agowithin their datacenter? Wtf? Do you have any idea how big AWS is?
