AWS is down due to an electrical storm in the US
By what stretch of the imagination is this icon suitable for representing a total loss of availability due to a power outage?: <a href="http://status.aws.amazon.com/images/status2.gif" rel="nofollow">http://status.aws.amazon.com/images/status2.gif</a><p>Is this not a 'service disruption' situation? At the bottom of the page, the yellow icon is associated with 'performance issues'.<p>If there's one thing that's shocked me about AWS, it's the total failure to acknowledge the severity of service disruptions. Like the above case, or the fact that a 3-hour loss of connectivity is displayed on the service history as a green tick with a small 'i' box: <a href="http://oi46.tinypic.com/x5qtch.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://oi46.tinypic.com/x5qtch.jpg</a>
