Planned Outage - Ubuntu-2 (eu-west-2)

Question

I am administering a lightsail instance for a client and I received the message below.   
  
We have detected a degradation of the underlying hardware hosting your instance: Ubuntu-2 (eu-west-2) in your AWS Account with ID: 123456789. Due to this degradation, we will have to perform necessary maintenance to the underlying hardware. Your instance may already be unreachable. Maintenance activity will result in your Lightsail instance stopping after Mon, 10 May 2021 00:00:00 GMT. After your instance is stopped, you can restart it at any time.  
  
I have two instances in eu-west-2 Zones A and C. Will both availability zones go down?   
  
How can I avoid an outage?

Accepted Answer

Just stop & start your instance and it will be fine.  
  
The warning you got was telling you that the instance would be shutdown ... if you stop & start it yourself, the instance will restart on undegraded hardware.

Answer

Many thanks David.
