Add to that all timestamps being US/Pacific for an outage in Europe...

Came here to say this. Each update almost subtracts value. Updates should only contain information that has changed.

Very frustrating when you're anxiously awaiting new information, and you have to do a word-by-word mental diff.

I really like this. I think a change to the input questions could solve this — clearer, more specific questions like "What's changed?", "Is it worse/better?".

It's funny how HN always complains about every status page.

I think Google Cloud has one of the only status pages that is always up to date and very forthcoming in giving as much detail as possible. Personally I couldn't ask for more.

It's casual feedback, sure. But it is (by and large) specific and actionable.

I think "you couldn't ask for more" is disingenuous at best, and an actively harmful outlook at worst.

Totally agree. I literally piped updates to diff last night to see whether GCP were actually making progress fixing anything or just spamming the same update message. Would make a useful twitter bot…

If you are really that interested in the content of a status page of one cloud service provider you should redesign your infra.

The value proposition of "cloud" for is not "I can haz cloud of big corp as my own" but "I can haz many cloudz to make resilient infra!".

If you rely on one cloud provider you are doing it wrong.
