The Service Health Dashboard

We now have a Service Health Dashboard available at http://status.aws.amazon.com.

The dashboard provides access to current status and historical data about each and every Amazon Web Service. Here's what the current status looks like:

If there's a problem with a service, you'll be able to expand the appropriate line in the Details section. You can even subscribe to the RSS feed for any service. You can use the "Report an Issue" link to make sure that we are aware of any system-wide service issues.

The historical data looks like this:

You will be able to see a record of service status, on a per-service basis, for the previous 35 days.

Having one feed, rather then multiple would be useful as well.

The dashboard would be great - if it were actually updated in a timely manner - which it time and again is not. It is actually the one of the last places to look for timely info about AWS service health.

The most up-to-date information on the health of AWS services consistently comes from a handful of people (non-Amzn staff) posting in the forums. Usually the 'dashboard' is updated well after a service disruption - if at all.

Following are a couple of relevant forum threads:

I really appreciate AWS and the effort that the AWS team puts into it - and I have bet heavily upon it. If the dashboard is not updated in a timely fashion, however, it starts to resemble a press release service more than it does a useful tool.

Have you seen cloudstatus.com? It provides a real-time view into the health & performance of AWS. We've been able to report outages well before Amazon, and the service is still growing.
