Are you tired of wondering if it’s your system or code that is causing a problem, or if the service you are using is the reason for all your errors?
Amazon yesterday announced the availability of their new Service Health Dashboard.
Customers have told us that having such a status indicator would be more useful than visiting a service-specific forum to see if messages have been posted about an issue with a service. As soon as we know about a change in the status of a service, we’ll change the color as appropriate on this page. It is intended as the single, authoritative source of information on the status of our services, eliminating doubt as to when and where to check.
It looks very thorough, displaying not only the current status but also a historical record. It even has RSS feeds for each of the Amazon services. I recommend bookmarking the page and keeping it handy if you are a serious Amazon AWS user.
