It's amazing how many of these status pages don't actually work in many situations.

- db48x 7y agoI guess technically the "server" is responding, so...
- bluetidepro 7y agoEdited my comment to just say the same thing. Haha What's the point of them then?
- michaelmior 7y agoIt's certainly helpful to know that Google is aware of the problem and fixing it.
- hknd 7y agoThese pages at Google/Amazon/Netflix are updated by the incident response team, so it's a manual task.
- SilasX 7y agoWasn't there that time AWS had some outage, but the red-circle picture (for failure) was itself hosted on the unavailable AWS service, so their status page didn't show it as being unavailable? Or am I mis-remembering something/repeating an urban legend?
- Dragonai 7y agoNah, you're remembering correctly, this happened. The failure icon was hosted on S3, but S3 was down. It was a great moment. Here's their tweet about it: https://twitter.com/awscloud/status/836656664635846656 https://twitter.com/awscloud/status/836656664635846656
- SilasX 7y agoThank you for confirming, and the citation!
- aglionby 7y agoYep, the icons were hosted on S3, which was unavailable https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/03/01/aws_s3_outage/ https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/03/01/aws_s3_outage/
- jgroszko 7y agoYes, that was the S3 outage last year... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13756111 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13756111
