This explains some weird EC2 stuff we saw yesterday. A good reminder to check up that a box starts up as expected (mounts disks, starts services, etc). It's easy to get lazy about that sort of thing when you're moving fast.

"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.

What kinds of alerts would work for you? Let me know and I will pass them along to the team.

I would like to be able to have alerts go right into SNS.
