I don’t believe you dogfood your own service when it’s critical infrastructure. It’s common to use competitor infrastructure for core services so you have fault tolerance if it fails. Ideally your status page is on a separate cloud in a separate region too. I imagine this is a choice to prevent circular dependencies on AWS within AWS itself.

That makes sense. But then the idea of a simultaneous failure preventing, say AWS and GCP/Azure, from restarting due to accidental circular dependencies in the init sequence needed to reboot the two competing cloud infrastructure is interesting.
