Its not transparent at all. A massive amount of services were hard down for hours like SNS and were never acknowledged on the status page or in this write-up. This honestly reads like they don't truly understand the scope of things effected.

It sounded like the entire management plane was down and potentially part of the "data" plane too (management being config and data being get/put/poll to stateful resources)

I saw in the Reddit thread someone mentioned all services that auth to other services on the backend were effected (not sure how truthful it is but that certainly made sense)
