As an alternate example, Github tends to have a pretty good status page in my experience. It'll usually be up-to-date within minutes of people chatting about issues on work Slack and gets updated at a regular cadence with details. AWS on the other hand...

It's nice to at least have a "Yeah the service is completely hosed and in a bad place" or a "Yeah, some changes went wrong and are being rolled back". The former usually requires some sort of mitigation while the latter can largely be ignored
