aws != amazon.
It's perfectly possible for AWS to keep running just fine, while Amazon the website bursts into flames.

Umm. If AWS is working fine, why should the status page show anything of note?

Does Amazon not run their website on AWS? I assumed (incorrectly, apparently) that AWS was originally built to allow Amazon to scale their own services. Is it really a separate product that they don't use themselves?

Just because a site is on AWS does not mean it cannot go down for its own reasons. There are more failures possible than infrastructure.

Just because the servers themselves are up doesn't mean that the software running on the servers is up (or that it's capable of handling the load).
I just got my shopping cart to load, but it took quite a long time. Maybe they're getting DOSed.
