Not sure why you’re being down voted. Status pages for big companies are never hooked up to automation. It’s just bad PR to show red across the bar.

If there is a networking outage, everything on a status page should be red but then that looks bad for PR. So you just set “networking outage” but everything else is green even though everything is realistically down.

it's also not only bad PR, but CSPs are subject to SLAs.
