I hate how they weasel out and display a green checkbox, but with a tiny little "i" for information on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (N. Virginia).

I deserve to see something visually distinct if there is a problem. This is purposefully poor UX.

If I'm visiting the status page for your site, it's probably because I'm a technical user who suspects something is broken. Don't you dare hide what is broken from me.

Console is not the only thing faltering. Our system is not able to send any emails using SES

Same here, can't send SES emails via the API (altho SMTP works for us)
