    I hoped they might discuss the supposed decrease in performance that the patches introduce (I imagine they did some testing) but I guess they're leaving it up to their users to discover whether their instances are slower now.

    This says operating systems must be patched. I don't see any notice from Ubuntu yet. Does this apply to upgrading Ubuntu as well?
