Change Details

This ticket is an outcome from the incident review meeting for incident `2024-09-28 cr2-eqsin down`. During this incident one site was depooled due to a router failure while another site was already depooled due to another unrelated router failure. As part of the follow-up discussion a need was identified for having a a central place (whiteboard) where SRE can quickly check the current site status. It's supposed to be a place where the pool status for all sites is displayed and optionally other facts for general awareness can be advertised. Unlike SAL, it should not be append-only but a single page that gets updated to current status. Several people agreed we should create something like this. All other details (internal vs external, technology used, etc) are to be determined.
