You joke, but static pages are actually great for status pages, since they handle load surges very well and have few moving parts to break. That said, it looks like the Amazon status page pulls http://status.aws.amazon.com/data.json , and I've also noticed that it's almost always all green even when stuff is broken.
Do we know if this is related to the Beats 1 issues people are currently reporting?

I'm super curious to hear technical info how this kind of widescale network partition comes to happen. It doesn't seem based on geography since for about 30 minutes I was unable to reach us-east from MonkeyBrains in SF, but had no trouble from my Dallas, TX VPS.
