It seems that the issue may be specific to us-east-1... https://console.aws.amazon.com/console/home?region=us-east-1 ...doesn’t work, but: https://us-west-2.console.aws.amazon.com/console/home?region... ...works.

Both of those are working for me. Much appreciated!

I think the thing I miss most about AWS was sipping coffee while watching the #wtf peanut gallery on wednesday mornings and during events like this

It's annoying how often status pages for various services (when they even exist at all) show that things are working when they really aren't

I've always wanted to build a public status page for services like Google Cloud and AWS with real tests against different services they offer. Not sure there is a good way to monetize though.

I've always wondered about this strategy. I'm a developer and a business owner. I'm in AWS's core target demographic. I know three things about AWS: - Their products have weird names - Their web console has horrible UX - The lie about uptime and server status I'm not looking to switch to AWS soon.

I take it you have never used Azure's UI? AWS is much better. I can't comment on Google Cloud because I've never used it.

AWS keeps their status page up2date these days. It's probably easier to check that page than combing through posts on HN, but to each their own.

This makes me wonder... do people keep posting and looking here because they want an element of control, they don't trust or know about status.aws.amazon.com ... or why?

I want status pages to show traffic to the status page itself over the last 24 hours (or some time period). A sudden uptick in traffic but green across the board would indicate that there is an issue, but they just haven't updated the page yet.

If you can write a perfect automated status page - can't you basically write perfect integration tests and make sure no bad code gets deployed?

Bit of a chicken and an egg problem :)
