"Pay attention to your Inbox and to the alerts on the AWS Management Console."
Especially with incidents like these (and other cases where instances are scheduled to be taken down), it really annoys me that AWS doesn't offer any push alerts besides emailing the account owner.
- jeffbarr 12y agoWhat kinds of alerts would work for you? Let me know and I will pass them along to the team.
- danmactough 12y agoI would like to be able to have alerts go right into SNS.
- dlg 12y agoMore generally, it would be cool if every account automatically got two free read-only SQS queues: one for events and one for upcoming events. Every known event (startup, terminate, permission change, network error, etc) could be published to the queue. Not high-priority for us but the parent comment sparked the idea (I'm not in devops so maybe this exists via a different mechanism.)
- verelo 12y ago+1 on this. We got the update on the EC2 reboots, but totally missed the RDS reboot information and as such suffered some downtime through the reboots on Friday (that we could have avoided had we known about it). It would be nice if the RDS console supported the "Scheduled Events" section that the EC2 console had.
- nnx 12y agoOh the possibilities! This would be super handy. I'd add SNS support for non-US SMS notifications :p Then I guess I would not need Pingdom anymore.
- samstave 12y agoI got more than 2,000 pager duty alerts :) Would you like to be on-call?
- snapperplug 12y agoYou can use the DescribeInstanceStatus API to get hold of scheduled events for an instance. http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/APIReference/ApiReference-query-DescribeInstanceStatus.html http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/APIReference/ApiRef...
