To work in AWS's system you must have redundant nodes -- such that any single node can be rebooted without affecting the system as a whole.

Notification that your system is on old hardware that has been deprecated is part of the price of doing business in this cloud system.

As others have noted: yes, it is a little tense (is this my production database or my Continuous Integrations machine) -- The email you get just gives you an aws-id token, so you must look it up.

but, AWS has enough components that help you build resilient systems that, if you've done you job correctly, you shouldn't care about these messages other than the labor of spinning up a replacement.
