My job (although 50% of time) at Azure is unit testing/monitoring services under different scenarios and flows to detect small failures that will be overlooked in public status page. Our tests run multiple times daily and we have people constantly monitoring logs. It concerns me when I see all AWS services are 100% green when I know there is an outage.

I don't know how accurate this information is, but I'm hearing that the monitor can't be updated because the service is in the region that is down.

Kinda hard to believe after they were blasted for that very situation during/after the S3 outage way back.

If that's the case, it's 100% a feature. They want as little public proof of an outage after it's over and to put the burden on customers completely to prove they violated SLAs.
