This probably needs a better link, but the AWS status page shows everything up. UPDATE: Status page now shows it https://status.aws.amazon.com/# https://status

https://stop.lying.cloud https://stop.lying.cloud if you (like me) keep getting the order of the aws, amazon, and status confused.

  Is this just a gimmick run by AWS and the "honest" in the logo is just a play on the host name, or is it some third-party version that adds information that AWS isn't reporting?

    Third party obviously. Check whois.

      Does it add/edit any information, or is it just a proxy?

    It's mine. It's an old Chrome extension shoved into a Lambda@Edge function that dynamically transforms the actual status page to cut out a lot of the "sea of green bubbles." I should look into updating it; it used to automatically upgrade the severity one level as well but AWS changed something. https://gaslighting.me https://gaslighting.me is the non-editorialized version.

      Do you have a writeup of “porting a chrome extension to lambda” somewhere?

The AWS status page misses lots of "bump in the night" outages.
- temp0826 6y ago
  Those statuses are updated by people (after bureaucracy and only with very high level approval), not by anything based in reality

    That is super messed up. That is not how a status board should work.

      Amazon is sadly not the only company that works this way.

      Blame sla language and marketing

      In addition to that it is also cached by CDN, so it takes a while to show up when there is an outage.
