what a scam. who can hold them accountable for cheating those who paid for uptime guarantees? I guess the lawyers of those who paid for uptime guarantees...
wah wah wah, my boss is chewing my ear out cuz I can't explain to him that it's a vendor (AWS) outage host on-premise then, and deal with power outages, and infrastructure management, and failing hardware shit happens, drink a coffee and sit back for 30 mins
Can anyone explain why status pages are so difficult. Theres even statups like status.io dedicated to this one thing. It really does seem that anytime there is an outage more often than not the status page is showing all green traffic lights. Making it redundant as a tool to corroborate whats happening. How did AWS status page compare with status.io/aws?
Failure happens at the speed of computing but agreeing that something is failing in a way that customers need to be told about is a slower process.
Even when status pages are fully automatic (rather than manually updated), there will tend to be gaming of the metrics that constitute that.
Ideally you would just be monitoring your SLOs and publishing that to customers... that doesn't seem to be how it works, anywhere.

You'd think they would have learned from that.

Last sentence of the alert at the top of the page.
Mediaconvert just stopped processing our queues two hours ago, in all our accounts. Anybody else is having it? It's green on the status board.
Isn't it common practice to host your status board on someone else's infrastructure? In 2017 there was an S3 issue that supposedly affected their ability to post. I believe they said that they were updating how they posted to the status board so that there would no longer be a dependency on S3. Well, I guess whatever they're dependent on now broke.
Well, this is a major outgage
