I have 19 instances (18 in US-West-2) and none of them are affected. I would guess that lots of people here run in us-east-1 since that's the longest running region and I would bet that a lot of that 10% exists there. So, it may be 10% total in all regions but higher percentage if you run in us-east-1. Just a guess though.

I guess all the Events weren't showing up yet because now I have 6 / 19 instances going down for a reboot.
44% of my instances in us-west-2 are affected, 55% of my instance in us-east-1, and 18% of my instances in eu-west-1 are affected. It seems to be tied pretty tightly to instance types.

Overall, I'm looking at a huge quantity of affected servers. That said, I don't blame AWS. I blame my incompetent architect for designing systems that are incredibly hard to upgrade, and that can't be rebooted safely. Definitely not bitter at that idiocy at all.

Yeah, I'd guess it depends mainly on what type of instances you run. Only one of the 28 instances I'm running right now (all in us-east-1) is going to be rebooted, and it is the only old generation instance I still run (it's a hi1.4xlarge). None of my M3s, C3s or R3s are affected, even though some are still on PV.
