Given the timeframe, I commend them for keeping the notices open and public. It's nice to see. When I went through the A(zure)pocolypse a few years back, didn't see anything for about 15-20 minutes... though admittedly if I weren't in the middle of testing something may have not noticed for a while either.
All said, you can't mitigate all DDoS easily, and it's nice to see that they were pretty responsive and open... Also, while email can be very important, it shouldn't be eminently critical.
