One or more of your Amazon Lightsail instances is scheduled for maintenance on Wed, ... 16:00:00 GMT. Maintenance activity will result in the affected Lightsail instance(s) becoming unavailable and then rebooted.
Hello, I received a notification with the message above. 16:00GMT is in the middle of the day in my local time. Is it possible to change the maintenance window for a lightsail instance ?
This post (https://repost.aws/questions/QUhAE5dV-JQsm22Doh35Xyfw/notifications-of-amazon-lightsail-maintenance-events) says that a reboot will resolve the issue, but there is no official documentation confirming it.
For EC2, on which lightsail is running, the documentation mention that a stop/start will migrate an instance on a faulty hardware to a healthy one, it also precise that a reboot won't have the same effect like a stop/start.
Hi,
I stopped, then started, still showing in the maintenance schedule as upcoming. Made a snapshot, deleted the instance and recreated a new one with the same name.
In the health dashboard, I still have "Upcoming" as the status. I suppose it is not the same instance but I reused the name and the "affected resources" tab only provide the name... Lightsail instance maintenance scheduled Status Upcoming
The EC2 documentation says that the status could take up to 1 hour to be updated. But it is more than 3 hours since I completed the above steps.
$ uptime -p up 3 hours, 22 minutes
I have many instances with upcoming scheduled maintenance. If possible, I will prefer the start/stop option instead of a snapshot/new instance (may be new name) option.
Is there any reliable way to confirm if a maintenance will occur or not after a start/stop ?
