Site instabilities due to Meltdown and Spectre (indirectly)

You may have notice that this blog is mostly unavailable or showing 5xx lately. It’s because I am on AWS and the recent Intel vulns has all the cloud vendors patching and rebooting their hypervisors. It’s causing various issues with my infrastructure.

I don’t blame the vendors, they are doing what they are supposed to be doing :-). I am waiting for my turn…. when the clouds are done with their patching, then I have to patch my instances and reboot them too. Ugh, joy….
