AWS us-east-1 outage

The problem being that often times you can't actually update the status page. Most internal systems are down.

We can't even update our product to say it's down, because accessing the product requires a process that is currently dead.

That's why your status page should be completely independent from the services it is monitoring (minus maybe something that automatically updates it). We use a third party to host our status page specifically so that we can update it even if all our systems are down.

I'm not saying you're wrong, or that the status page is architected properly. I'm just speaking to the current situation.
