I don't understand this. The icon URL is in the HTML. Both icons https://status.aws.amazon.com/images/status0.gif https://status.aws.amazon.com/images/status0.gif and https://status.aws.amazon.com/images/status3.gif https://status.aws.amazon.com/images/status3.gif have been working for us all along. Plus clearly they are able to update the status page contents, because they added the "increased error rates" message there too. I don't want to believe it but is it fair to assume they did not want to replace status0.gif with status3.gif in HTML? Please correct me if I'm not getting this straight.
In any case, it's a bad day for AWS folks, I'm feeling their pain too. Being a cloud provider is a tough business to be at and the pressure is really high.
- ryanbrunner 10y agoOne explanation might be that they use an internal tool to update the status page definitions, and parts of that tool are hosted on S3. Or that the status definitions themselves are hosted on S3 (and then read and transformed into the HTML page everyone sees)
