This is incredibly upsetting. Amazon publishing false status reports for public consumption is directly equivalent to libeling every single customer they have, simultaneously. I was trying to register a new domain during this outage. When my registrar's site wasn't loading correctly, I dug around and discovered they use AWS. I then checked Amazon's AWS status page to see if they were the culprit. Nothing but green icons across the board. Amazon having the audacity to tell such a gargantuan lie seemed inconceivable, so I was absolutely convinced that the problem was the registrar's fault. I decided the registrar must have become shoddy at some point without me noticing, and so I made a "to-do" note for myself to switch to another registrar this weekend. If I hadn't happened to stumble across this HN submission, the registrar I use would have lost a long-time customer due to Amazon publishing a maliciously false status page for AWS.
