Comparison​

  • AWS Health Dashboard (Personal Health Dashboard): Provides a personalized view of the health of AWS services affecting your account and specific resources. It is proactive and focused on direct impact to your operations.
  • Public Service Health Dashboard: Shows the general status of all AWS services in all regions. It is a global, non-personalized view, useful for checking overall AWS status but not for understanding the impact on your account.
