收到Amazon EC2 Instance scheduled for retirement邮件，有个实例本月底会被关闭，这神马情况？

[qq286735628]

我登录console.aws.amazon.com，发现我的Instance多了一个Events，并且该Events还不能取消



难道月底我必须删掉这个Instance，然后再重新新建一个?

邮件原文：

Dear Amazon EC2 Customer,

One or more of your Amazon EC2 instances in the ap-southeast-1 region is scheduled for retirement. The following instance(s) will be shut down after 12:00 AM UTC on 2013-05-31.

i-f7b263a1

We recommend that you launch a replacement for each retiring instance and begin migrating to it. You can do this by stopping and re-starting your instance, or by terminating it and launching a new one in its place.

You can see more information on the instances scheduled for retirement in the AWS Management Console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/home?region=ap-southeast-1#s=Events

For more information about scheduled retirement events, please see Monitoring Scheduled Events in the EC2 user guide: http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/monitoring-instances-status-check_sched.html

If your instance's root device is an EBS volume, the instance will be stopped after the retirement date, and you can start it again at any time. You can prevent retirement for this instance by issuing a stop and start from the AWS Management Console. Doing so will migrate your instance to new hardware and help reduce unforeseen downtime. For more information about how to stop and start your instance please see Stopping and Starting Instances in the EC2 user guide: http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/starting-stopping-instances.html

In case of difficulties stopping your instance, please see the Instance FAQ: http://aws.amazon.com/instance-help/#ebs-stuck-stopping

If your instance's root device is an instance store, it will be terminated after the retirement date. We recommend that you launch a replacement instance from your most recent AMI and migrate all necessary data to the replacement instance before this time.

Warning: Any data not stored in an EBS volume will be lost when your instance is stopped or terminated.

If you have any questions or concerns, you can contact the AWS Support Team on the community forums and via AWS Premium Support at: http://aws.amazon.com/support

Sincerely,
Amazon Web Services

重新新建一个，然后迁移过去。
总感觉 EC2 有点复杂，让人望而生畏

You can do this by stopping and re-starting your instance

居然reboot不起作用，必须要stop然后再start，那个Events就消失了。

关闭重新开启后，原来绑定的固定IP也需要重新 绑定了。

这个回复是正确的。


我刚刚处理过这个问题。权当做英文阅读理解了...
官方说明文档，https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/instance-retirement.html#instance-retirement-working

1、对应看“Managing Instances Scheduled for Retirement”部分，一般按照模板建立的 EC2 实例，Instance Root Device Type 为 EBS。

2、所以操作就是“Wait for the scheduled retirement date - when the instance is stopped - or stop the instance yourself before the retirement date. You can start the instance again at any time.”

3、stop 并且 start 实例的时候，在内存中非持久化的数据都会丢失，这个一般都没影响。

4、比较重要，一般需要引起重视的是，IP 变化了：
（ 1 ）如果使用 putty 远程服务器，需要用新 IP 或 AWS 提供的域名 ec2-xx-xx-xxx-xxx.compute-1.amazonasw.com ；
（ 2 ）如果绑定了域名，需要设置 DNS ；
（ 3 ）其他的，如果服务本身里面有 IP 设置，也需要重新设置。

其他应该没有了。
