- gibolt 4y agoMany intentionally don't show outages. Amazon is generally quite picky about what is considered an AWS service outage
- voakbasda 4y agoOf course they are picky, because they have SLAs that say outages cost them money. This speaks to the need for independent monitoring/auditing to ensure that companies are being honest about the metrics that they provide. Right now, no one can hold them accountable for lying on their status pages, because every customer must make their own case that there even was an outage. Worse, there’s no truly independent party to make them accept such evidence, so you are ultimately dependent on them deciding to come clean.
- leviathant 4y agoI'll give credit where it's due, Shopify's status page is pretty reliable at showing downtime as it happens.
- samb1729 4y agoThis website is the real status page for me
- nanidin 4y agoToo many bonuses and SLA contracts depend on the “status” for it to be a reliably self reported metric. When I was in one of these positions, I negotiated bonuses to allow for some failures specifically to avoid this type of conflict of interest. I think it’s also mentioned in the seminal SRE book published by Google.
