Isn't it ironic that of all the services failing the status page never seems to go down? Of course it's likely hosted somewhere else, but I always chuckled and thought the same thing when there was a major outage somewhere.

I think that's less of a coincidence than due to the advice many people give that you separate your status page from the infrastructure it's reporting on in every single way possible. One example of the approach is the separate top-level domain usually used. If I were setting a status page up, I would ensure it was with a different cloud provider, and ideally a separate side of the country or separate continent from my principal DC.
