Imagine you’re a cloud engineer working for a large company, and you’re responsible for keeping the website up and available. You’re enjoying your Monday night meal, when suddenly you get an alert that the website is down.
It’s due to the cloud provider’s authentication mechanism failing and you’re not sure how long this outage will last.
If those detectors are not revealing any issues, you can check on the status page of your cloud provider.
Cloud outages can be frustrating for anyone that relies on cloud services to perform their daily activities or run their business.
