It looks like you deleted the older AMIs right away. I'm curious if this is the normal procedure. We want to use the Debian images for production but need to have some wiggle room to qa test them before they go away.

Please take care to update any CloudFormation templates and AutoScale groups to use these newer AMI IDs (or clone these updated AMIs into your account and use your own AMI IDs). These were generated by the current version of bootstrap-vz as found in github; no additional improvements were made over and above what landed for the impromptu 7.4a release (Console to hvc0, Cloudinit not testing other metadata services, S3 backed AMIs to 4 GB root (from 1GB), and all pending security updates until that point in time which for 7.4a was the heartbleed libssl fix in particular).
AWS GovCloud and AWS Marketplace updates will be pushed in a few days should no issues arise here.
For any existing instances, please pay attention to pending security updates (as always) with apt-get update && apt-get upgrade, and please consider installing the unattended-upgrades package to help keep your instance(s) up to date.
