HOST THE GODDAMN STATUS PAGE ON AZURE FOR FUCKS SAKE.
There is zero excuse for this shit. Be professional. Acknowledge reality. It is logically impossible to run your own status page. Trying to do so just wastes everyone else on the internet's time when you have an outage.
- aaronharnly 5y agoSeriously.
- boopboopbadoop 5y agoYou don’t even know what the problem is yet. Stop shouting solutions.
- slig 5y agoThe problem is very clear: the status page is not working as it should.
- mark-r 5y agoGiven the legal liabilities Amazon has with their SLAs, it may be working exactly as Amazon thinks it should. Whether anybody would agree with that assessment should be obvious.
- boopboopbadoop 5y agoWhat if the problem is not an AWS problem? My point is that you don’t know what the problem is, you’re assuming.
- yunwal 5y agoThe problem is that AWS can't update their status page to reflect that there's a problem. This happens during every AWS incident without fail.
- hatware 5y agoStatus page looks like it was updated. Seems more like we have a lot of impatience on this board.
- twistedpair 5y ago"Can't" and "won't" are different things. See discussions from the last outage about the VP signoff needed to admit, I mean announce, an outage.
- boopboopbadoop 5y agoMy point is that you’re not even sure that it’s AWS’s problem. I heard that other providers might be affected, perhaps meaning it’s a network issue.
- OneLeggedCat 5y agoI kind of think everyone else here understands this very particular problem of a status page running on the same equipment that it's supposed to be monitoring if that equipment goes down, and for whatever reason, you don't.
- boopboopbadoop 5y agoI understand that. What I’m questioning is whether that is the problem here. Is it? Do you know? I heard it might be an internet provider issue, in which case the status page is not the problem here.
- bnt 5y agoIsn't it on S3 or something? And a few years ago we had that whole S3 is down situation and the status page was also down? xD
- kwertyoowiyop 5y agoNo, just change it to a statically-rendered page on CloudFlare with all green lights. :-) And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how I passed my system architect interview!
- jeroenhd 5y agoThey should host their status page on IPFS instead. If you're never going to change the contents of your status page, you might as well put it into immutable storage!
- Aldipower 5y agoIf the status page is down, you know the system is down. Mission accomplished. Go ahead.
- r3trohack3r 5y agoI don’t understand, are folks looking at a different status page than me? This morning we saw some weird behavior in us-west-2, our traffic just _vanished_. I thought: there is no way this is us. Went to https://status.aws.amazon.com/ https://status.aws.amazon.com/ Top of the board showed “Internet Connectivity Issues (Oregon)” And that was that. The board worked exactly as it should - it immediately explained my missing traffic and kept me up-to-date with the status of the outage on their side.
- tommek4077 5y agoThey should automatically update as well. Currently it is a static "all green" page and might be manually changed if a managet would give his go. Insane.
