Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the official AWS status page?

The official AWS status page is at health.aws.amazon.com (also known as the AWS Service Health Dashboard). It shows status for all AWS services across all regions worldwide.

How do I check AWS status for my specific region?

On health.aws.amazon.com, filter by region using the dropdown menu. Each service shows status per region, so us-east-1 issues won't appear for eu-west-1 services.

What's the difference between AWS Health Dashboard and Personal Health Dashboard?

The public AWS Service Health Dashboard shows all incidents. The Personal Health Dashboard (in AWS Console) shows only issues affecting YOUR specific resources and accounts.

Does AWS status page show all issues accurately?

AWS has been criticized for delayed status updates during major outages. The public dashboard may show 'green' while issues occur. Use PerkyDash for independent monitoring of your actual AWS resources.

Never rely only on official status pages

Official status pages can be slow to update during outages. Get independent monitoring with PerkyDash to catch issues before official announcements.
