> Is there that little slack in Amazon's compute capacity?
I'm sure there's plenty of "slack" under most circumstances. However this affects the majority of users so all of them setting up new instances at the same time would likely be impossible.
For the scale of this reboot, they'd have to maintain 30-50% extra capacity which would likely be financially impossible at those rates.
