The AWS status page misses lots of "bump in the night" outages.

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.
