What's this blue diamond mean?

When the largest provider of cloud/internet services has an outage, people are going to look at their status page. It’d be nice if that status page was easy to decipher.

You have to scroll way too far before you find a table explaining what the symbols stand for, and if you’re scrolling quickly, you might miss it since it’s sandwiched between the first giant data table and another giant data table.

The blue diamond is an “Informational Message”.

Solution

Move that table of symbols up to the top of the page so that it’s clearly visible.

Thanks to my friend Ben Kurland for pointing this one out!
