Never said I got reimbursed for AWS. As far as I know the SLA is on their infrastructure, was your problem tied to a specific OS?

Do you have any actual sources of their average instance uptime over the year?

I see an SLA of 99.95%(~4hrs/year) on the site but cloudharmony.com/status has AWS at the top. Googling average ec2 uptime has people posting instances running for years with nothing.

I don't think a lot of people are really understanding how much of a larger issue this would be for us if AWS didn't patch a major security issue before it was made public.

The company has treated me very well over the years, from AWS to retail. My stuff arrives on time, if it doesn't I get reimbursed, most of the time with an extra few bucks for my trouble. The AWS platform is more mature and feature rich than anyone else and keeps getting better.

These reboots are going to save a lot of peoples butts, they wouldn't give a 48 hour notice if they had a better option.

That being said, I'm very curious to see what info is released next week.
