I have heard stories like these before but it wasn’t clear to me that this is apparently a broader issue at AWS (reading the other comments). While I think that very short outages in line with SLAs must mot necessarily go public or have a post mortem, it is astonishing to see that some teams/managers go through lengths to hide this at the „primus“ of hyperscalers.

I always wonder how many more products AWS pushes out the door versus cleaning up and improving what the have already. Cognito itself is such a half-baked mess...

But back to topic, when should we update status pages? On every incident? Or when SLAs are violated?
