Excellent – and ever more important as more services rely on the cloud. Shouldn’t be long before someone condenses this into an app and/or desktop widget….
Stats don’t lie. Since this reporting tool went live, 2 out of 3 days have had outages to one or more services. Good job Apple.
Are we looking at Eddie Cue’s first act as Services Chief?
Oh, I’m pretty sure Eddie Cue has this in a dashboard he has up all the time.
Probably linked via a USB cable to his scrotum! Somebody gonna pay for that outage!
Nice: the status is available via a JSON API:
http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/data/system_status_en_US.js
It also works with different countries:
http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/data/system_status_fr_FR.js – France
http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/data/system_status_de_DE.js – Germany
I created https://twitter.com/iOutage , which will send tweets within 5 minutes of an outage.
