If you're a subscriber to Amazon's Web Services then you know how important it is to make sure your data is not only safe but accessible at all times. And while Amazon provides a site dedicated to advising you of the status of their network, what if you wanted to know if the issue was with a particular service or if the sky was indeed falling.
CloudStatus hopes to provide just that. Instead of just globally monitoring Amazon's services, CloudStatus deploys their Hyperic HQ agents inside and outside Amazon's clouds to help determine if the slow down you may be experiencing is due to the entire infrastructure going down or just to a particular service.
In addition, CloudStatus also provides matrices so you can see how each of Amazon's services have performed over time. This is particular useful to those that are considering making the jump to cloud computing and want to base their decision off empirical data instead of marketing propaganda.
