Some EC2 instances will be rebooted this week, but notification was sent a few weeks ago - probably routine maintenance.

It wasn't all instances. Only one of mine needed a reboot.

In my case the reboot was scheduled for most (if not all) EC2 and RDS instances.

I think it was just their paravirtual instances that have a scheduled reboot. I haven't heard that any of the newer HVM ones are affected.

Azure in the start of January.

We had a large % of our longer running instances have scheduled reboots in Dec.

Is it linked and if so does that mean AWS have already patched?
