Here's a pretty dashboard that we use as marketing.

When there's a thermonuclear strike, we'll mark down the services we think are dead as yellow.

I don't think it can turn yellow because the servers responsible for turning it to yellow were fried. It will just stay on green.

I always liked Amazon's approach to this. In extremis, like if a whole region is down or something, they'll eventually change the green indicator to green with information mark.

> Given that they shut down suddenly and you could not reach a human, it sounds more like Google Cloud ;)

On Google Cloud for over four years, with three kubernetes clusters and a few dozen VMs across three projects... and this thing you describe has never happened. Have you had a different experience with them?

This was a joke based on Google's tendency to suddenly shut down popular products ;) I had no negative experience with its Cloud so far.

Not one of those big cloud offerings is human-friendly, until you pay $$$$$ and get proper account manager ;)
